ATI Ns 117 Fundamentals | Nurselytic

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: "I should tell the nurse if I can't control my pain with this device." This statement indicates that the client understands the importance of communication with the healthcare team regarding pain management. By informing the nurse if the pain is not adequately controlled, proper adjustments can be made to the PCA device or alternative pain management strategies can be implemented. This demonstrates the client's active involvement in their care and promotes safe and effective pain management.


Choice A is incorrect because it focuses solely on avoiding overdose by being careful with the button, which is important but does not address the need for effective pain management communication.


Choice C is incorrect as it suggests involving family members in the administration of medication, which is not safe or recommended with a PCA device.


Choice D is incorrect as it implies limiting the use of the device to only when absolutely necessary, which may lead to inadequate pain control if the client hesitates to use the device when needed.
