ATI Case study: Questions with Verified Solutions
2023-2024 Update.
Pain Management: What elements are included in a pain assessment?
- Answer- In order to evaluate pain thoroughly my nursing skills would include the
PQRST method. P (Provocation/Palliation)- What were you doing when the pain
started? What caused it? What seems to trigger the pain? What relieves it? Q
(Quality)-what does the pain feel like? Is it sharp, dull, tingling? R (Region)-Is the
pain felt all over or in one specific area? Does the pain travel around? S (Severe)-
on a pain scale from 0-10 with 0 being no pain, where would you rate the pain?
How long does the pain last? T (Timing)- How often does it occur? When it does
come to you is it sudden or gradual?
Therapeutic Communication: What nontherapeutic communication styles did the
nurse use in this scenario? What therapeutic communication styles could the
nurse have used instead? In your response, speak directly to the client.
- Answer- In terms of nontherapeutic communication styles, the nurse gave
personal advice and false reassurance, asked why questions, and focused on self,
rather than the client. As a result, this lead to the failure to remain client
centered. The therapeutic communication styles that the nurse could have used
which are active listening, silence, and exploration; providing leads; and asking
focused questions. For my response to the client, I would ask the patient to
elaborate more about his feeling on his mother's passing. "Mr. Tolito, tell me
more about how you feel."
