Pain Management

Complete Pain Evaluation Important

It is important that nurses fully evaluate their patient’s pain. Nurses should ask questions like, “What is the severity of your pain on a scale of 1 -10?” They should determine where the pain is on your body, whether it’s on your arm or on your leg or elsewhere on your body. They should also determine how long you have had the pain.

Evaluate Response To Medication

It’s important for the nurses to evaluate the response that you have to any type of pain medication or any other type of pain relief strategy. The nurses are going to be providing direct care to you and they are going to be seeing you good deal more than the doctors. If the nurses aren’t fully assessing the pain and how effective any pain relief technique is, they are not going to be able to tell the doctor.

Confer Frequently With Nurses About Pain Management

We suggest that you or your loved one talk to the nurses to make sure that the type of assessment that ought to be done is actually being done and that the doctor is being fully informed.
