stimulation. In addition,
there may be other
factors affecting the

Both patients would
perceive the surgical
incision to be painful at
about the same point.
Mr. Mitchell is able to
tolerate his pain when it
is rated at a 5, whereas
Mr. Farrell is not. The

Rationale:
Before developing a plan for
controlling a patient's pain,

information about the
patient's perception of his
pain.
Rationale:

analgesic effect of opioid
narcotics. Patients develop a
tolerance to the effects,
which often necessitates an
increase in the dose.
Addiction requires a
psychological dependence on
the drug for its euphoric
effect, not its analgesic
effect.
