Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The nurse should assess pain frequently as the fifth vital sign and listen to the client's self-report, which is considered the most reliable indicator of pain. Only the client knows how the pain feels, what measures make it worse, and which give relief. Pain and its level of interference with activities, rest, and general comfort are evaluated.

Answer to Question 2

A
