Answer to Question 1

3
Pain of a psychological origin is when an individual seeks treatment for pain when no actual pain exists. This is also referred to as malingering or pretending pain. The nurse should not assume that the pain does not exist but rather should conduct a thorough pain assessment to rule out an actual physiological problem. The nurse should not immediately ask the physician for pain medication. The nurse should not remind the client that he does not have pain but just wants the medication. The nurse should also not suggest the client seek counseling for pain medication-seeking behavior.

Answer to Question 2

The circulating nurse serves as the client advocate while the client is least able to care for himself. Maintaining the sterile field is a responsibility of the scrub nurse. Assisting the surgeon is an activity of the registered nurse first assistant. Assisting with the administration of anesthesia is an activity of the nurse anesthetist.
