The nurse planning interventions for a client with pain disorder would MOST likely plan interventions that are directed toward:
a. curing the client of all pain to ensure a pain-free life
b. helping the client control the pain while having a life
c. teaching the client that pain may control his or her life but not his or her mind
d. teaching the client how to tolerate pain better
B
The most likely intervention would be helping the client control the pain while having a normal life, because oftentimes chronic pain cannot be completely eliminated medically. In such cases, the pain must be controlled or diminished as best as is possible, while the client develops skills to continue living in spite of the pain.
