Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: Pain is a subjective symptom that only the client can describe. Asking the parents to report the client's status and observing for signs of pain would yield secondary data, while asking the client directly provides more valuable information to evaluate outcome.

Answer to Question 2

2,3,4
Rationale 1: Procedures can vary slightly from facility to facility, so it is important for the student to review the facility policy before administering the medication. When a nursing student is performing a skill for the first time, or until competence is determined, the nursing instructor should always supervise the procedure. The client should not be touched without first explaining what will be done and why it is being done. The order does not need to be verified with the physician unless there is a problem with the order. A therapeutic relationship with the client and family is optimal, but it is not required in this situation.
