Answer:

Step 1

Explanation:

According to the World Health Organization's (WHO) analgesic protocol or "Pain Ladder" as it is known, the client is demonstrating to be in Step 1 of this protocol. This indicates mild pain within the patient/client and is prescribed a non-opioid drug which in this case is acetaminophen, and may or may not be prescribed an adjuvant, such as an anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drug like Ibuprofen.
