NURSING QUESTION
Scenario 1
A 25-year-old Arab American man is one day post op following a thoracotomy. There have been no post-surgical complications. He tells his family that he is “in terrible pain”, yet he reports ratings of 2 to 3 on 0-10 numeric rating scale to the nursing staff. He requests pain medication every two to three hours, and will not get out of bed or ambulate.
Scenario 2
A 60-year-old African American woman with metastatic ovarian cancer is experiencing chronic pain. Her pain ratings have been between 3 and 7 on the 0-10 numeric rating scale. Her vital signs remain within normal ranges. She is fully able to participate in her daily care. She describes herself as the matriarch of her family, and looks forward to daily visits from her family even when her pain rating is high. Her church pastor calls and visits her several times per week. She anticipates discharge in a few days.
