    HESI RN EXIT 1 PROCTORED EXAM

    A female client with fibromyalgia asks the nurse to arrange for hospice care to help her manage the severe, chronic pain. Which intervention should the nurse provide to address the client's problem?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. While psychological support may be beneficial for managing chronic pain, arranging a consultation with a psychologist may not directly address the client's immediate need for pain management. B. Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition, and a pain specialist is best equipped to assess and manage the client's pain effectively. Therefore, arranging an appointment with a pain specialist is the most appropriate intervention. C. Hospice care is typically reserved for end-of-life care and may not be suitable for a client with fibromyalgia unless the condition is terminal. D. Forming an interdisciplinary team may be helpful for comprehensive care but may not directly address the client's immediate need for pain management.
