As most RNs will be happy the patient is not complaining and his BP is within normal limits. The physiology of how it is impossible that the med is working, is not explained. For whatever reason, the med is "working."
There are patients that are on chronic pain meds. Say, one tablet every 3 hours as needed for pain. Some of these patients will sleep all day. EXCEPT, the 3 hour period when the med is due. They wake up exactly at or just before each med can be given. In bad pain.
They are given the med and can be sound asleep in less than a few minutes. There is no physiological reason that their internal timers are so precise and that the meds work so quickly --- except the mental aspect.
The brain plays such a strong influence on how we process our internal senses and external stimuli --- it can overcome science, at times.
