A patient who has signed a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order is in the last stage of metastasis and is experiencing acute pain. Which intervention would the nurse perform for this patient? The nurse would stop any interventions. The nurse would opt for a noninvasive procedure. The nurse would suggest alternative therapies. The nurse would administer pain-control medication.

In this scenario, the patient has signed a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order and is in the last stage of metastasis, experiencing acute pain. The primary focus in such cases is to ensure the patient's comfort and manage pain effectively. 1. **Stop any interventions**: This option is not appropriate as the patient is in pain and requires care. 2. **Opt for a noninvasive procedure**: While noninvasive procedures can be beneficial, they may not directly address the acute pain the patient is experiencing. 3. **Suggest alternative therapies**: Alternative therapies can be helpful, but they may not provide immediate relief for acute pain. 4. **Administer pain-control medication**: This is the most appropriate intervention. The nurse should prioritize the patient's comfort by administering pain-control medication, as managing pain is a critical aspect of care, especially in end-of-life situations. Therefore, the correct intervention for the nurse to perform for this patient is to **administer pain-control medication**.
