A nurse is documenting a patient’s pain assessment. The nurse charts that the patient is “complaining of severe pain.” To make this a more objective and measurable entry, the nurse should add:

  • "Patient states pain is 8/10 on a 0-10 scale, grimacing and guarding abdomen."
  • "Patient is acting like they are in severe pain."
  • "Patient seems to be overreacting to pain."
  • "Patient's pain is expected."
