Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative. The nurse should recognize that which of the following methods is the most reliable source when determining the intensity of the client's pain?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Client's self-report of pain. This method is the most reliable because pain is subjective and varies greatly among individuals. The client's self-report provides direct insight into their experience of pain, allowing for personalized and accurate pain assessment. Vital sign measurement (
A) may indicate distress but doesn't capture the full extent of pain. The nature of invasiveness of the surgical procedure (
B) may give an indication of potential pain but doesn't reflect the individual's actual experience. Visual observation (
C) for nonverbal signs of pain can be helpful but may not always accurately reflect the client's pain level.
