Remember the patient Andrew Eskew at the beginning of the chapter? Now read the remainder of the case study. Based on the information presented within this chapter, respond to the critical thinking questions that follow.     Andrew is a 27-year-old landscaper who was building a landscaping wall yesterday. His job requires lifting, bending, and twisting. On arising today he stated that his back hurts and he cannot move from side to side. The nurse has performed a physical assessment on Andrew, which revealed tightened muscles in the lumbosacral region and limited mobility. The patient describes his pain as a level 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. What should Andrew be instructed regarding the administration of this medication?
