A client was admitted to your unit after being involved in a motor vehicle crash (MVC). The client sustained 3 left rib fractures and required surgery to repair a right femur fracture. The client has been requesting pain medication every hour for the last 3 days and refuses to cough and breathe deeply because it hurts too badly. He has been removing his intermittent pneumatic compression sleeves because he says they hurt his legs, especially the right leg.
