The nurse is teaching a student nurse about pain assessment scales. Which statement by the student indicates correct understanding?

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

To gain a better understanding of a patient's current pain status and to determine what interventions are needed, the nurse should assess both current and previous pain scores. A patient who rates pain at 4 might find the pain manageable if over the previous 24 hours, he had rated his pain at 10. Some patients do not express their pain or do not wish to take medications to relieve the pain. This does not mean they aren't in pain; the nurse can try nonpharmacological therapies for this patient.
