Answer to Question 1

D
A nurse should obtain subjective data about the client's pain, including the client's own description of the pain; its location (where pain occurs); onset and duration (when pain began, how long it has existed, and any pain patterns); quality (what the pain feels like); intensity (how severe the pain is); aggravating and alleviating factors (things that increase or decrease the pain); factors accompanying the pain (impact on daily activities such as sleep and nutrition); and the meaning of pain to the client.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
An inunction is a medication incorporated into an agent (eg, ointment, oil, lotion, cream) that is administered by rubbing it into the skin. Unmedicated products such as barrier cream and moisturizing cream are not considered to be inunctions. An elixir is a form of compounded, liquid, oral medication.
