Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer pain medication to a postoperative client who had a total knee replacement and reports pain as 5 on a scale of 0 to 10. Which of the following PRN medications should the nurse plan to administer?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Ketorolac 15 mg IV. Ketorolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAI
D) that is effective for moderate to severe pain, like that experienced post knee replacement surgery. It provides potent analgesic effects by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are mediators of pain and inflammation. The IV route ensures rapid onset of action, making it suitable for immediate pain relief. Morphine (
A) is a strong opioid used for severe pain but has more side effects and potential for dependency. Amitriptyline (
B) is a tricyclic antidepressant used for neuropathic pain, not acute postoperative pain. Acetaminophen (
D) is a mild analgesic suitable for mild pain relief, not sufficient for postoperative pain.
