Mrs. Perez, a 48-year-old, Hispanic woman, is admitted to the nursing unit 2 hours after undergoing a right mastectomy (i.e., surgical removal of the breast). The floor nurse receives a report from the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) nurse that includes the patient's admitting diagnosis of breast cancer, latest vital signs, focused assessment, medication, and intravenous (IV) orders, pain level and the time she was last medicated for pain, and the status of her surgical dressing. Initially, Mrs. Perez appears to be comfortable, dozing occasionally between short conversations with her husband, who is at her side. When Mrs. Perez fully awakens 3 hours after arriving on the nursing unit, she complains of sharp, constant pain on the right side of her chest. She rates her pain at 8 of 10 on the pain scale. She is grimacing and appears tense.
