Accepted Answer

The nurse is caring for two clients and both have the same diagnosis where one client complains of pain as 6/10 and the other complains of pain as 1/10. The nurse should explain to both clients that the client's reaction to pain is a subjective experience. Pain assessment is essential for effective pain management. Nurses are in a unique position to assess pain because they have the most contact with children and families in the hospital. Pain is the most common symptom children experience in the hospital. Acute pain (nociception) is associated with tissue damage and inflammatory responses, is short-lived, self-limiting, and does not involve nerve tissue.Because pain is multidimensional, assessment should include intensity, location, duration, description, impact on activity, and factors (biopsychosocial phenomena) that may influence the child's perception of pain is needed.Learn more about the pain assessment inhttps://brainly.com/question/28298302#SPJ4
