Rationale 3: In this situation, the primary goal is not to prevent addiction, but for the client to be able to function.
Rationale 4: In pain management, both client and health care providers assess treatment.
Global Rationale: The goal for clients with chronic pain is to be able to perform activities of daily living comfortably. The goal with all clients is pain management, not necessarily pain relief.
