The Wife of a Patient You Are Caring for Asks

The wife of a patient you are caring for asks to speak with you. She tells you that she is concerned because her husband is requiring increasingly high doses of analgesia. She states, He was in pain long before he got cancer because he broke his back about 20 years ago. For that problem, though, his pain medicine wasnt just raised and raised. What would be the nurses best response?

A) I didnt know that. I will speak to the doctor about your husbands pain control.
B) Much cancer pain is caused by tumor involvement and needs to be treated in a way that brings the patient relief.
C) Cancer is a chronic kind of pain so the more it hurts the patient, the more medicine we give the patient until it no longer hurts.
D) Does the increasing medication dosage concern you?
