Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The goal is to allow the client to perform activities of daily living, which in this case includes going to the toilet without experiencing significant pain. Eliminating all pain in clients with chronic pain may not be realistic, preventing addiction to medication may not be the priority at this time, and allowing the nurse to assess treatment success is important but not the primary goal in this scenario.
