Feedback:
Acute pain in the abdomen disturbs all the systems of the body. Relieving the pain should be the nurse's first priority. According to Maslow, physiologic needs are the highest priority. The client may have disturbed body image, disturbed sleep patterns, or activity intolerance, but all these are secondary to pain.
