Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client 1 hr after administering morphine for pain. The nurse should identify which of the following findings as the best indication that the morphine has been effective?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: D. The client rates pain as 3 on a scale from 0 to 10.
Rationale: Pain assessment is subjective. The client's self-report of pain is the most reliable indicator of pain relief efficacy. A pain rating of 3 indicates that the pain has decreased from the initial level, suggesting that the morphine has been effective in managing the pain.
Summary of Other
Choices:
A: The client's vital signs being within normal limits may not directly correlate with pain relief. Vital signs can be influenced by various factors other than pain relief.
B: The client not requesting additional medication does not necessarily indicate effective pain management as some individuals may hesitate to ask for more medication.
C: The client resting comfortably with eyes closed may indicate relaxation but does not specifically confirm pain relief.
E, F, G: No additional choices provided.
