The male client diagnosed with chronic pain since a construction accident which broke several vertebrae tells the nurse he has been referred to a pain clinic and asks, 'What good will it do? I will never be free of this pain.' Which statement is the nurse's best response?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Pain clinics offer multimodal relief (e.g., therapy, medications), addressing chronic pain holistically. Fear exploration, cure promises, or deferring to HCP is less supportive.
