Question 1 of 5
A nurse is performing a pain assessment, noting 5 on a 10-point scale, for a postoperative patient who is 24 hours post procedure. Which type of order should the nurse anticipate that the health-care provider has written?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Standing orders. In this scenario, the patient is 24 hours post procedure with a pain score of 5/10, indicating the need for ongoing pain management. Standing orders are pre-established protocols for managing common situations like pain assessment and management in postoperative patients. The health-care provider would have likely written standing orders for pain management in this case to ensure timely and consistent care without the need for individual orders for each instance.
Incorrect
Choices:
B: STAT orders are for immediate, urgent interventions, not ongoing pain management.
C: Automatic stop orders are for medications with a specified duration, not for ongoing pain management.
D: Verbal orders are typically used for urgent or immediate situations, not for ongoing management like pain assessment.
