He is currently on bed rest with bathroom privileges and is in traction when in bed. He describes his lower back pain as being "very severe" and requests Oxycodone, a narcotic analgesic, every three hours. The doctor has ordered the medication to be administered every four hours as needed for pain (PRN). He is also taking a muscle relaxant medication and a stool softener. He ambulates to the bathroom under the nurse's supervision because, at times, he is unsteady on his feet.
