Bone metastasis can cause intense continuous pain that disrupts the client's activities and sleep and reduces the client's quality of life.This problem should be managed ahead of all other problems.Although the client may also be experiencing impaired mobility and risks for infection and malnutrition,none of these problems will be as disruptive as acute pain.The pain must become manageable before the other problems can be addressed.
