Select the most important component of the pain assessment of a cancer patient.
 
  1. The most recent CT scan interpretation
  2. The dosage of opioids required to relieve the pain
  3. The patient's description of pain
  4. The serum tumor marker levels

Question 2

The nurse cares for a patient with advanced cancer who has been on a stable dose of opioids for 3 months. The patient complains of a sudden exacerbation of pain. The nurse's best response is:
 
  1. We need to increase your opioid dose. You have likely developed tolerance to the medication.
  2. I will reassess you in 6 hours to determine whether the pain has lessened or if there are any changes.
  3. Cancer pain frequently waxes and wanes. No new interventions are needed at this point.
  4. We need to evaluate you for other reasons the pain could have suddenly increased.
