A 75-year-old client had surgery for a hip fracture yesterday. The client is under stress as a result of pain, sleep deprivation, and the hospital environment. The nurse caring for the client implements a proactive approach to pain management. Pain-management plans include communicating frequently to establish an acceptable pain rating, conducting hourly pain assessments, and evaluating the client’s pain control hourly. In addition to improved patient outcomes, how else might the hospital benefit from the nurse’s actions?
