OP, OP! Are you still there? Please forgive these overworked abused nurses. They hijacked your thread and were mean. I have never seen such rudeness or childishness in my life. I think a call to the BON is in order.

OP, if this is indeed a homework question, please DO NOT give the posted answers as your homework answers. You would no doubt fail the course.

Hopefully you have by now discerned your own answers, because allnurses.com is totally noncompliant!

Some patients get sore ribs lying in bed cos their pec muscles get all all squished up. Just do all your vitals and take it from there, in context with their diagnosis/ses.

Ibuprofen can help with that pain.
