True
False
A nurse uses a numeric pain scale to assess a client’s pain level and intervenes based on the client’s report rather than observable behaviors.
True
False
Self-reported pain is considered the most reliable indicator of pain, reflecting the client’s subjective experience. While observable behaviors may provide additional context, they should not override the client’s verbal report. Pain management interventions should be tailored to the reported severity and characteristics of pain to optimize client care. Observational data alone cannot fully determine pain intensity and may lead to under-treatment or inadequate relief.
