3. A client who had an elective below-the-knee amputation reports pain in the foot that was amputated. What is the best response by the nurse?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct response is to assess the pain intensity by asking the client to rate their pain on a scale of 0-10. This helps the nurse to effectively manage the client's pain. Choice A is incorrect as it dismisses the client's pain without proper assessment. Choice B is incorrect as it assumes the pain is phantom limb pain without assessing the client's current condition. Choice C is incorrect as it invalidates the client's pain experience and does not address the issue at hand.

4. The nurses assess the client's pain prior to completing a dressing change. The client says his current pain is 5/10, but he has pain of 10/10 when his dressing is changed. What is the priority intervention for this client?

Correct answer: C

5. The nurse assesses a deep wound. The area is covered by black and necrotic tissue. What term would the nurse use when documenting this wound?
