Extract:
A hospice nurse is caring for a client who has terminal cancer and takes PO morphine for pain relief. The client reports that he had to increase the dose of morphine this week to obtain pain relief. Which of the following scenarios should the nurse document as the explanation for this situation?
Question 1 of 5
The client has not been taking the medication properly
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the client experiencing episodes of confusion could indicate medication misuse or improper intake. This could lead to ineffective treatment and potential harm.
Choice A is incorrect as addiction typically involves compulsive drug-seeking behavior.
Choice B is incorrect because developing tolerance means the medication is less effective over time, not necessarily related to improper intake. The other choices are not relevant to the situation described.
