Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who reports a pain level of 5 on a scale from 0 to 10. The client informs the nurse that pain medications are not an option for managing pain. Which of the following is an appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "Would you like me to give you a back massage?" This response is appropriate because it offers a non-pharmacological pain management intervention that can help alleviate the client's discomfort. Massage therapy can help reduce muscle tension and promote relaxation, which can contribute to pain relief. It also shows empathy and a willingness to explore alternative pain management strategies.
Choice A is incorrect because it dismisses the client's concerns and does not offer a practical solution.
Choice B is inappropriate because the nurse should not encourage the use of herbal remedies without knowing the potential interactions with the client's current treatment.
Choice D is not ideal as it puts the client on the spot and may come across as confrontational.
