Question 1 of 5
Which patient scenario of a surgical patient in pain is most indicative of critical thinking?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. This scenario demonstrates critical thinking as it involves seeking information directly from the patient to tailor the pain management plan. By asking the patient about past pain relief methods, both pharmacological and nonpharmacological, the healthcare provider can individualize the treatment to best suit the patient's needs. This approach acknowledges the patient's unique experiences and preferences, leading to more effective pain management.
Incorrect options:
A: Disregards the patient's subjective experience and fails to address individual needs.
B: Relies solely on past medication administration without considering the patient's current pain status.
C: Follows orders blindly without considering the patient's input or history, which may not be the most effective approach.
