Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
As per JCAHO pain assessment standards, the nurse should assess the client's pain whenever the nurse measures and documents vital signs. When administering a prescribed analgesic, the nurse should assess pain before implementing a pain-management intervention and again 30 minutes later. The nurse should assess the client's pain when the client is admitted to, not discharged from, the health care facility. Similarly, the nurse should assess pain once per shift when pain is an actual or potential problem.

Answer to Question 2

B
Belladonna and opium suppositories are used to reduce bladder spasms after prostate surgery; alpha blockers relax the smooth muscles along the urinary tract without compromising normal urinary reflexes.
