A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving pain medication through a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? Instruct the family to refrain from pushing the button for the client while she is asleep. Inform the client that because she is on PCA, vital signs will be taken every 8 hr.
