Question 2

A postsurgical patient has been provided with a morphine patient-controlled analgesic (PCA) but has expressed her reluctance to use it for fear of becoming addicted. How can the nurse best respond to this patient's concerns?
 
  A) You don't need to worry. It's actually not true that you can get addicted to the medications we use in a hospital setting.
  B) If you do become addicted, we'll make sure to provide you with the support and resources necessary to help you with your recovery.
  C) It's important that you accept that your current need to control your pain is more important than fears of becoming addicted.
