A nurse is collecting data from a client who has placenta previa. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Restlessness can be a common manifestation of pain. When a client is experiencing unrelieved pain, they may exhibit restlessness, which can include fidgeting, pacing, or frequent position changes in an attempt to find relief. Restlessness may also be accompanied by increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and changes in respiratory rate.

Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) is not a specific indicator of unrelieved pain in a client with a spinal epidural for a herniated disc. Difficulty swallowing can be caused by various factors, including anatomical abnormalities, neurological conditions, or muscle dysfunction.

Constipation is not a specific indicator of unrelieved pain in this scenario. Constipation can be a side effect of certain medications, including opioids that are commonly used to manage pain.

However, it is not an exclusive indicator of unrelieved pain and can be managed through interventions such as adequate hydration, fiber intake, and appropriate bowel regimen.

Urinary retention is not a specific indicator of unrelieved pain in this context. It can be associated with several factors, including the use of certain medications, urinary tract infections, or neurological conditions. Urinary retention may require assessment and management but does not necessarily indicate unrelieved pain.

A. Social isolation can exacerbate depressive symptoms, so it's not recommended for the client to spend time alone in his room.
B. Exercise is generally beneficial for individuals with depression, but exercising before bedtime might interfere with sleep.
C. There's no evidence to support the direct relationship between low-protein snacks and managing major depressive disorder.
D. Correct. Encouraging the client to use positive self-talk can help counteract negative thought patterns that are often present in depression.
