Pain
Assessment
(Test
Bank)
How
do
nurses
assess
a
patient's
pain?
a.
By
assessing
physiologic
changes
of
the
patient
b.
By
understanding
the
sensory
experience
related
to
the
amount
of
tissue
damage
c.
By
the
patient's
medical
diagnosis
or
surgical
procedure
d.
By
asking
the
patient
to
rate
the
pain
being
experienced
-
ANSANS:
D
Reasoning:
A
The
pain
perceived
is
unrelated
to
the
physiologic
changes
of
the
patient.
B
Although
pain
occurs
when
tissues
are
damaged,
there
is
no
correlation
between
the
amount
of
tissue
damage
and
the
degree
and
intensity
of
pain
experienced.
C
There
is
no
correlation
between
pain
perceived
and
a
medical
diagnosis
or
surgical
procedure.
D
Pain
is
whatever
the
patient
says
it
is.
One
person
cannot
judge
the
perception
or
meaning
of
pain
of
another
person.
The
nurse
notes
in
the
patient's
history
that
the
patient
has
persistent,
malignant
pain.
What
is
the
meaning
of
this
type
of
pain?
a.
The
pain
has
been
present
for
at
least
2
weeks.
b.
The
pain
began
after
recent
surgery
and
is
associated
with
healing
incisions.
c.
The
pain
has
been
present
for
6
or
more
months.
d.
The
pain
has
been
present
since
surgery
to
remove
cancer.
-
ANSANS:
C
Feedback:
A
This
time
frame
is
too
short.
Chronic
pain
may
be
intermittent
or
continuous
pain
lasting
more
than
6
months.
B
This
is
a
description
of
acute
pain
rather
than
chronic.
C
This
is
the
definition
of
persistent
or
chronic
pain.
D
Surgery
to
remove
malignant
tissue
does
not
necessarily
equate
to
malignant
pain.
A
patient
has
had
chronic
back
pain
for
several
years.
On
assessment,
the
nurse
notes
that
the
patient
sits
quietly
in
a
chair,
reads
a
book,
talks
with
a
companion,
and
does
not
appear
to
be
in
pain.
When
questioned,
the
patient
rates
the
pain
as
a
6
on
a
scale
of
0
to
10.
How
does
the
nurse
interpret
these
data?
a.
Many
patients
cannot
be
believed
when
they
complain
of
severe
pain
lasting
many
months. b.
Patients
may
not
have
the
same
objective
responses
to
chronic
pain
because
of
compensation
over
time.
c.
The
patient
probably
has
already
taken
a
very
effective
pain
medication.
d.
This
patient
is
probably
not
having
as
much
pain
as
reported
initially,
and
more
assessment
is
required.
-
ANSANS:
B
Feedback:
A
Pain
is
whatever
the
patient
says
it
is.
Patients
with
chronic
pain
adapt
to
the
pain
and
have
more
subtle
manifestations
than
patients
with
acute
pain.
B
Clinical
manifestations
of
chronic
pain
are
not
those
of
physiologic
stress
because
the
patient
adapts
to
the
pain.
C
Patients
with
chronic
pain
adapt
to
the
pain
and
have
more
subtle
manifestations
than
patients
with
acute
pain
despite
the
effects
of
pain
medication.
D
Pain
is
whatever
the
patient
says
it
is.
Patients
with
chronic
pain
adapt
to
the
pain
and
have
more
subtle
manifestations
than
patients
with
acute
pain.
