The pain is worse during the day when various treatments are scheduled. Which statement to the physician best indicates the nurse's knowledge of pain management for this patient?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Patient-controlled analgesia allows the patient with burns to self-medicate for pain, thus providing independence with pain management strategies.
