shingles (varicella zoster). He has painful lesions on his face and down one side of his
neck. His mother has decided to remain with him while he is on isolation precautions
and unable to leave his hospital room. After administering the prescribed analgesic,
which age-appropriate complementary therapy would you encourage the mother to do?

Blowing bubbles with her son

others rather than pain. The other interventions are not age appropriate for the
adolescent client.

Jackie Gardner is a 20-year-old college cheerleader who is brought to the emergency
department (ED) after landing incorrectly during a stunt and injuring her right ankle. The
ED healthcare provider makes the diagnosis of a right ankle fracture and orders an IV
narcotic for pain relief while waiting for the orthopedic surgeon to evaluate her injury.
Thirty minutes after you administer the medication, you return to evaluate her response
to the medication. Which will you include in your evaluation?


Client's reported pain level

Client's sleep patterns

Ability to move ankle

Respiratory status

Vital signs - answer Client's reported pain level

Respiratory status

Vital signs

Ongoing monitoring of the client who has been administered a narcotic pain medication
includes vital signs, respiratory status, and the client's reported pain level. These
indicators help determine the effectiveness of the medication and alert the nurse to
possible side or adverse effects. The surgeon will evaluate the client's ankle further. It is
not necessary to evaluate the client's sleep patterns at this time.

structures?
