How should a trainer handle a client's undiagnosed pain?

  1. Ignore the pain as it will pass

  2. Recommend over-the-counter pain medication

  3. Refer the client to a physician

  4. Advise the client to rest and monitor the pain

The correct answer is: Refer the client to a physician

A. Ignoring the pain as it will pass is not a recommended approach as it could potentially worsen the client's condition if it is actually a serious issue. A proper diagnosis from a physician is necessary to determine the appropriate course of action. B. Recommending over-the-counter pain medication may provide temporary relief, but it does not address the underlying cause of the pain. This can also potentially mask symptoms and delay proper treatment. D. While advising the client to rest and monitor the pain may seem like a sensible response, it is not the best decision as undiagnosed pain should not be taken lightly. A physician should be consulted for a proper assessment and treatment plan.
