A client who is in hospice care complains of increasing amounts of pain. The
healthcare provider prescribes an analgesic every four hours as needed. Which
action should the nurse implement?
A. Give an around-the-clock schedule for administration of analgesics.
B. Administer analgesic medication as needed when the pain is severe.
C. Provide medication to keep the client sedated and unaware of stimuli.
D. Offer a medication-free period so that the client can do daily activities. - The
most effective management of pain is achieved using an around-the-clock
schedule that provides analgesic medications on a regular basis (A) and in a
timely manner. Analgesics are less effective if pain persists until it is severe,
so an analgesic medication should be administered before the client's pain
peaks (B). Providing comfort is a priority for the client who is dying, but
sedation that impairs the client's ability to interact and experience the time
before life ends should be minimized (C). Offering a medication-free period
