The nurse is conducting a focused assessment of a client who is experiencing pain. Which question should the nurse ask the client?

A. "When did your pain symptoms begin?" When conducting a focused assessment on pain, the nurse should gather specific details about the onset, location, duration, characteristics, and aggravating/relieving factors. Asking when the pain symptoms began helps clarify the onset, which is critical in assessing the pain's cause and severity.B. "Do you think you know what caused the swelling?": This is less focused on pain and more on swelling, which may not be the client's main concern.C. "What brings you to the clinic today?": While this is a good general question, it is not focused on pain and would not gather specific pain-related information.D. "Can you go over what you said about nothing relieving the pain?": This question is not as open-ended or specific to a focused pain assessment as asking about onset.
