Management of CareQuestion 85 of 2368

An assistive person doing hourly rounds finds that a client reports pain. What action should the nurse expect from the assistive person?

  1. Give the client the as-needed pain medication
  2. Ask the client to use the call light for pain medication
  3. Contact the nurse immediately
  4. Add pain to the report at the end of shift
Show answer

Correct answer: Contact the nurse immediately

Nonnurse staff doing rounds should notify the nurse right away, so the client does not need to call for pain medication.
