Question 1 of 5

A client diagnosed with pancreatitis reports severe epigastric pain. After administering a narcotic analgesic, the client insists on sitting up and leaning forward. Which action should the nurse implement?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Clients with acute pancreatitis often experience severe epigastric pain that radiates to the back. Leaning forward helps reduce pressure on the inflamed pancreas and relieves pain by minimizing peritoneal irritation. Providing a bedside table allows the client to rest in a comfortable, supported position, improving pain management without additional interventions.
