A patient admitted to the ICU with a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis is prescribed pain medication through a PCA pump. What should the nurse include when teaching the patient and family about the proper use of the pump?
◦ The PCA delivers pain medication every time the button is pushed.
◦ The PCA allows the patient to administer smaller amounts of pain medication more frequently, which helps to get more effective pain relief.
◦ The patient should only use the PCA pump when the pain is severe.
◦ The family may help by "pushing the button" when they feel the patient is in pain.
