Question 1 of 5
The nurse is providing care for a patient recently transferred from the post-anesthesia care unit [PACU]. The chart indicates that the patient was medicated for pain 1 hour ago, yet the patient reports that he is experiencing extreme pain. He is not due for further medication until another 2 hours. How might the nurse intervene as a patient advocate?
