The nurse is aware of common misconceptions about pain that many clients express. Common misconceptions include:
 
  1. Clients can experience pain even after minor surgery.
  2. Administering analgesics regularly for pain will lead to addiction.
  3. The person who experiences the pain is the authority on its existence and nature.
  4. Intensity and duration of pain varies considerably among individuals.

Question 2

The nurse is asked to retrieve blood from the blood bank to administer to another nurse's assigned client. What does the nurse take to the blood bank?
 
  1. Nursing license
  2. Requisition stamped with client's information
  3. Cooler in which to place the blood
  4. Another nurse for identification of blood

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: This is a true statement, not a misconception.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: When the nurse gets to the blood bank, both the technician and the nurse will confirm that the blood received is the right blood for the right client, so the nurse must have something stamped with the client's information, such as the requisition for the blood. The nurse does not need her license, as that is verified with employment; a cooler is not needed, because blood should not be stored longer than four hours after receipt; and another nurse will not be needed until the nurse returns to the unit, when the blood will be double-checked before administration.
