Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is using a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump for postoperative pain management. The nurse enters the room to find the client asleep and his partner pressing the button to dispense another dose. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct response is D: Your husband should decide when more medication is needed. This empowers the patient to control their pain management and ensures safety. The partner should not be administering medication without consulting the patient or healthcare provider. Option A enables potential overmedication, option B doesn't address the issue of patient autonomy, and option C is inappropriate as the nurse should be the one managing the PCA pump. Option D promotes patient autonomy and safety.
