A Client Who Underwent Surgery Is Intubated and Receiving Mechanical

A client who underwent surgery is intubated and receiving mechanical ventilation. The client is receiving a neuromuscular blocking agent to stop spontaneous breathing that is not in synchrony with the ventilator. The appropriate approach by the nurse to the client's postoperative pain control would be

A) a sedative should be given with an anxiolytic and the neuromuscular blocker to control pain.
B) an analgesic is needed specifically for pain control and must be given as needed along with the neuromuscular blocker and a sedative or anxiolytic.
C) sedatives should be given with the neuromuscular blocking agent, and together these will control pain.
D) the neuromuscular blocking agent will prevent pain impulse transmission, so the prn analgesic order is unnecessary.
