B. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
C. Correct response: If pain relief cannot be achieved via positioning, or removal of physical irritants (e.g., endotracheal tube malposition), pharmacologic therapies should be instituted. These therapies include opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and neural blockades.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
