A client is admitted to the emergency department with abdominal pain. Which data should the nurse document regarding a client's complaint of abdominal pain? Select all that apply.

Rationale: A. The quality of pain is essential information. Terms like sharp, stabbing, cramping, or dull help guide differential diagnosis and treatment planning. This is a core component of a pain assessment. B. Onset and duration are critical for identifying acute versus chronic conditions and establishing a timeline for the development of symptoms. This helps prioritize diagnostic testing and interventions. C. Although psychosocial concerns are important to consider for holistic care, they do not describe the pain itself and are not part of a focused pain assessment. This is contextual information, not clinical data related to the abdominal pain. D. Relieving factors provide valuable information about what alleviates symptoms and may suggest gastrointestinal causes (e.g., gas or reflux). This is part of the standard pain assessment (OLDCART). E. Aggravating factors are also important to document, as they help identify triggers or contributing factors and guide interventions, such as positioning, activity restrictions, or further evaluation.
