Client is postoperative for a total hip arthroplasty


Problem: The client is postoperative for a total hip arthroplasty and denies pain when asked by the nurse. The client remains still in the bed and refuses to move. They finally report feeling pressure at the site upon continued questioning by the nurse. The best nursing intervention is to Use the term "pressure" when asking the client about pain. Re-educate the client to use the word pain instead of pressure. Wait to medicate the client until the client reports pain. Use a 0 to 10 numeric pain intensity scale to measure pain.
