Question 1 of 5

A nurse is planning to use nonpharmacological pain relief methods for a client who reports continued mild back pain after receiving analgesia 1 hr ago. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan?

A. Instruct the client to take deep, rhythmic breaths. B. Encourage the client to apply a heating pad for 2 hr at a time. C. Remove distractions from the client's room. D. Apply an ice pack to the client's back for 1 hr.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Instruct the client to take deep, rhythmic breaths. Deep breathing helps promote relaxation, reduce stress, and increase oxygen flow which can aid in pain relief. This technique is noninvasive, easy to implement, and can be done by the client independently.
Choice B is incorrect as heat may exacerbate inflammation.
Choice C is irrelevant to pain relief.
Choice D is incorrect as ice pack application is not suitable for mild back pain.
