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. Teach the client to avoid pushing the button until pain is above a 7 on a scale of 0 to 10. Increase the basal rate and shorten the lock-out interval time if the client's pain level is too high.

Prostaglandins are involved in inflammation and pain sensations. How could drugs, such as aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen, provide relief from these symptoms? by preventing transport of prostaglandins throughout the body by blocking the receptors for prostaglandins on target cells by blocking the synapse between neurons by blocking enzymes that synthesize prostaglandins
