Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most accurate indicator of pain reduction is the patient's self-report. In this case, Mrs. Beamish's rating of her pain decreasing from 8 to 4 after receiving morphine sulphate SC is the best indicator of pain relief. While the other options may suggest a decrease in pain, they are not definitive and may not accurately reflect Mrs.Beamish's pain level.
