The nursing student is caring for a patient who has chronic pain.
The nursing student is attempting to minimize the patient's
environmental stimuli. Which action performed by the nursing
student requires correction?
1
Lifting the patient from the bed
2
Loosening constricting bandages
3
Avoiding repositioning the patient anatomically
4
Positioning the patient correctly on a bedpan - answer 3
, While controlling the painful stimuli, the nurse should lift the
patient using safe patient-handling lift devices. The nurse should
not pull the patient. The nurse should reposition the patient
anatomically to relieve any pressure points. Painful stimuli can be
controlled by loosening the constricting bandages and positioning
the patient correctly on a bedpan.
Which nursing action can increase the risk of dislodging a vascular
clot?
1
Providing a back massage to the patient
2
Providing a shoulder massage to the patient
3
Massaging the patient's legs and calf muscles
4
Massaging the foot from heel to toe using a gliding motion - answer
3
Massaging the patient's legs or calf muscles can increase the risk of
dislodging a vascular clot; therefore this part of the body should not
be massaged. Providing a back massage does not increase the risk
of dislodging a vascular clot. The nurse should massage the foot
from heel to toe by using a gliding motion; a vascular clot will not
be present here, so it is safe. Providing a shoulder massage to the
patient does not increase the risk of dislodging a vascular clot.
A nurse administers nonopioid analgesics and adjuvant analgesics
to a patient who has chronic cancer pain. Which step of the World
Health Organization (WHO) analgesic ladder would include this drug
administration?
