of the nurse reassessing the client's pain, the nurse tells the client he must wait two more hours before he can receive another dose.
Level 2: Complex Critical Thinking Correct Answer--The nurse begins to express autonomy by analyzing and examining data to determine the best alternative.
-A result from an increase in nursing knowledge, experience, intuition, and more flexible attitudes. Ex.

when she is out of her room.
