When is it most important for the nurse to assess a pregnant client's deep tendon reflexes (DTRs)?

Choice A: Ask for a consultation with a psychologist. This is not the best intervention, as it does not address the physical aspect of pain management. A psychologist may help the client cope with emotional distress and cognitive-behavioral strategies to reduce pain perception, but it may not be enough to relieve severe pain.

Choice B: Arrange an appointment with a pain specialist. This is the best intervention, as it addresses the physical aspect of pain management. A pain specialist may prescribe appropriate medications, perform interventional procedures, or recommend alternative therapies to relieve severe pain.

Choice C: Contact a hospice nurse for an evaluation. This is not the best intervention, as it does not address the eligibility criteria for hospice care. Hospice care is intended for clients who have a terminal illness with a life expectancy of six months or less, and who have decided to forego curative treatments. Fibromyalgia is not a terminal illness, and hospice care may not be appropriate for this client.

Choice D: Form an interdisciplinary team for evaluation. This is not the best intervention, as it does not address the urgency of pain management. An interdisciplinary team may consist of various healthcare professionals who can provide holistic care for the client, but it may take time to coordinate and implement their services.

Choice A: Advising the client to place one nitroglycerin tablet under his tongue as a precaution is a dangerous action for the nurse, as this can cause severe hypotension and cardiovascular collapse due to the interaction between tadalafil and nitroglycerin. This is a contraindicated choice.

Choice B: Telling the client to have someone bring him to an emergency department immediately is an unnecessary action for the nurse, as there is no evidence of any serious adverse reaction or complication from tadalafil. This is an overreaction choice.

Choice C: Instructing the client to increase his intake of oral fluids until the skin flushing is relieved is not an appropriate action for the nurse, as this does not address the cause of the flushing, which is vasodilation due to tadalafil. This is a distractor choice.

Choice D: Reassuring the client that skin flushing is a common side effect of the medication is an appropriate action for the nurse, as this can calm the client and educate him about the expected effects of tadalafil. Therefore, this is the correct choice.
