The patient was experiencing acute pain related to vascular enlargement and rupture from an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Nursing interventions included establishing rapport, monitoring vital signs, obtaining an assessment of the patient's pain, providing comfort measures, instructing in relaxation techniques, and administering analgesics as needed. The expected outcomes were for the patient to gain cooperation, have their pain managed at an acceptable level through pharmacological and non-pharmacological means, and to be free of worsening of their underlying condition.
