Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Encouraging patients to report pain before it becomes too severe allows for more effective pain management. The earlier pain is addressed, the easier it can be managed. Older patients may have difficulty describing their pain level accurately, and using the smallest dose possible to control pain is important, but not the most accurate information presented in the options. Pain medication administration ordered PRN may not maintain a constant blood level, as it is dependent on when the patient requests the medication.
