A patient complains of pain at 9 on a scale of 10 and requests pain medication. Understanding that it is important to quickly treat severe pain, a nurse will expect to administer
 
  1. An NSAID.
  2. A nonopiate analgesic.
  3. An opiate/opioid analgesic.
  4. An adjuvant analgesic.

Question 2

A patient tells her nurse that she has had chronic pain for approximately 2 years and that her primary care physician is talking about ordering her a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) unit.
 
  When asked how a TENS unit helps pain, the nurse explains that it
  1. Relieves pain by stimulating and opening the gate.
  2. Delivers electrical stimulation, which, in turn, stimulates the broad nerve fibers.
  3. Uses electrical shock waves to numb pain.
  4. Comforts by tricking the brain's impulse delivery.
