Pain has been defined as "whatever the person experiencing the pain says it is, existing
whenever the patient says it does."
This definition is problematic for the nurse when caring for which type of patient?


a. A patient placed on a ventilator
b. A patient with a history of opioid addiction
c. A patient with decreased cognitive function
d. A patient with pain resulting from severe trauma


c. Because the patient's self-report is the most valid means of pain assessment, patients who
have decreased cognitive function, such as those who are comatose, have dementia, or are
mentally disabled, might not be able to report pain. In these cases, nonverbal information
and behaviors are necessary considerations in pain assessment.
