A client is at a physician's office following the end of treatment for breast cancer. The client is not scheduled to receive any more radiation or chemotherapy at this time. With treatment behind her, the client can now look again to the future.
 
  Which phase of psychological adjustment is this client experiencing? 1. Shock
  2. Reaction
  3. Recovery
  4. Reorientation

  2. Experiences pain relief within 30 minutes.
  3. Feels a greater sense of control, and is less dependent on the nursing staff.
  4. Can deliver as many doses of the medication as needed.

Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 3. The recovery phase begins during convalescence following the completion of medical treatment.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: The bolus is given by the healthcare provider at the beginning of therapy, and is not repeated.
Rationale 2: The patient experiences pain relief within 30 minutes of receiving oral pain medications. IV pain medications provide rapid pain relief.
Rationale 3: The preset pump has a time lockout, so the patient cannot deliver another dose until a specified period has elapsed, but it allows the patient to do the administering.
Rationale 4: The patient is locked out of delivering as many doses as might be desired by the preset time lockout in the pump.
