When performing a complete pain assessment, which of the following data indicate assessment of pain in the affective domain?
1. "This pain is punishment for my misdeeds.".
2. "The pain is a 9 on a scale of 1 to 10.".
3. "The pain comes in waves in my abdomen.".
4. "The patient is pale and moaning.".
"This pain is punishment for my misdeeds.".
Rationale: The affective domain is the emotions or feeling associated with the pain. Pain scales are tools to determine the severity of the pain. The quality of pain coming in waves is a subjective report of the sensory component of pain. The patient appearing pale and moaning is an objective finding.
