Rationale 3: Pseudoaddiction is a condition that results from the undertreatment of pain where the client can become so focused on obtaining medications for pain relief that he becomes angry and demanding, might clock watch, and might otherwise seem inappropriately drug-seeking. To differentiate between pseudoaddiction and addiction, if the client's negative behavior resolves when the pain is treated effectively, the client is exhibiting pseudoaddiction.
Rationale 4: Physical dependence is a state of adaptation that manifests with withdrawal symptoms when the drug is stopped or drastically reduced.
