Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following arthroscopy and reports a pain level of 6 on a scale of 0 to 10 after receiving ketorolac 1 hr ago. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Administer oxycodone 5 mg orally. Oxycodone is a stronger pain medication compared to ketorolac and is appropriate for moderate to severe pain. Since the client's pain level is still at 6 after receiving ketorolac, a stronger pain medication like oxycodone is indicated. Option A is incorrect because it does not address the client's uncontrolled pain. Option C is not the best choice as rectal administration may not provide quick relief. Option D is inappropriate and judgmental as it assumes the client is seeking drugs improperly without further assessment. Administering oxycodone is the most appropriate action based on the client's pain level and the need for effective pain management postoperatively.
