Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3, 4

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Pain has been defined as whatever the experiencing person says it is, existing whenever he or she says it does. Pain reports will vary between people. There is no evidence that this client is drug seeking. Contact with the healthcare provider or nursing supervisor is premature at this time.
