A nurse is providing preoperative teaching to a client about the administration of morphine via a PCA pump.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A

A) pump, where they will receive a limited amount of pain medication when they press the button. This indicates the client knows they have control over their pain relief.
