Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is 1 day postoperative following gynecologic surgery and reports incisional pain. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Ask the client to rate her pain on a scale from 0 to 10. This is the first action the nurse should take because it helps in assessing the severity of the pain and guides further interventions. By understanding the client's pain level, the nurse can determine the need for pain medication or other interventions. It also allows for better communication and collaboration with the client in managing their pain effectively.
Choice A: Determining the time the client last received pain medication is important but not the priority. Pain assessment should come first.
Choice B: Measuring vital signs, including temperature, is relevant but not as crucial as assessing the client's pain level initially.
Choice D: Repositioning the client and offering a back rub can be beneficial but addressing the pain level should be the first step.
