A client reports pain as being a 2 on a scale from 0 to 10. Which pain medications would the nurse consider for the client at this time?
 
  1. Acetaminophen (Tylenol).
  2. Ibuprofen (Motrin).
  3. Naproxen (Naprosyn).
  4. Hydrocodone (Vicodin).
  5. Methadone (Dolophine).

Question 2

A client experiencing pain after surgery says Something must be wrong, since the pain is so severe. The best response for the nurse to make to the client would be:
 
  1. The amount of tissue disrupted from the surgery is not related to the degree of pain you feel.
  2. That could be so.
  3. Taking pain medication for many years has made the medication ineffective now.
  4. Are you sure the pain is as bad as you are saying it is?

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale 1: Reporting pain as a 2 on a scale from 0 to 10 means the client is experiencing mild pain. According to the WHO approach to pain management, the client should be provided with a nonopioid analgesic such as acetaminophen (Tylenol).
Rationale 2: Reporting pain as a 2 on a scale from 0 to 10 means the client is experiencing mild pain. According to the WHO approach to pain management, the client should be provided with a nonopioid analgesic such as ibuprofen (Motrin).
Rationale 3: Reporting pain as a 2 on a scale from 0 to 10 means the client is experiencing mild pain. According to the WHO approach to pain management, the client should be provided with a nonopioid analgesic such as naproxen (Naprosyn).
Rationale 4: Hydrocodone (Vicodin) would be provided if the client were experiencing moderate pain.
Rationale 5: Methadone (Dolophine) would be provided if the client were experiencing severe pain.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Pain is a subjective experience, and the intensity and duration of pain vary considerably among individuals. The amount of tissue damage or disrupted is not related to the amount of pain experienced.
Rationale 2: This is not true.
Rationale 3: This statement assumes the client was taking pain medication for years, and would be incorrect and inappropriate for the nurse to explain.
Rationale 4: This response is questioning the client's experience of pain, and would be incorrect and inappropriate for the nurse to make.
