You assume care for Mrs. Green, and according to the report you receive from the off-going nurse, the patient’s respiratory status has improved; however, she had a restless night spent complaining of pain rated as 3 out of 10 from bone pain. Hydromorphone PCA is infusing as ordered at 0.2 mg/hour IV continuous mode. You enter the room and find the patient grimacing and lying on her right side with her legs drawn up towards her chest. You introduce yourself and ask the patient's permission to perform your assessment. She agrees to the examination but asks you to help her get comfortable. The patient states that she has not had a bowel movement since Sunday and complains of extreme abdominal discomfort.
