Be sure the patient is a partner in making decisions
about the best approaches for managing pain. A patient
knows the most about his or her pain and is an

therapies. The nurse must believe that a patient is in

ANS: B
One of the most subjective and therefore
most useful charac-teristics for reporting
pain is its severity. Therefore, the best way to
assess a patient's pain is to ask the patient
to rate the pain. Nonverbal communication,
such as body language, is not as ettective
in assessing pain, especially when the
patient is oriented. Heart rate sometimes
increases when a patient is in pain, but this
is not a symptom that is specific to pain.
Pain sometimes attects a patient's ability to
cope, but assessing the ettect of pain on
coping assesses the patient's ability to cope; it
does not assess the patient's pain.

According to this theory, gating mechanisms
located along the central nervous system
regulate or block pain impulses. Pain
impulses pass through when a gate is open
and are blocked when a gate is closed.
Nonpharmacologic pain-relief measures,
such as meditation, work by closing the gates,
which keeps pain impulses from coming
through. Meditation does not open pain
gates or stop pain from occurring.
Meditation also does not have an ettect on
pain neuroregulators.
