Verified step by step guidance

Understand the importance of pain management: Pain is a critical vital sign that can affect various organ systems, including the cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems. Effective pain management is essential for patient comfort and recovery.

Recognize the nurse's role in pain assessment: Nurses are responsible for regularly assessing and documenting the patient's pain level. This involves using pain scales and considering both subjective and objective indicators of pain.

Consider the holistic approach: Pain management should be integrated with other aspects of patient care, but it should not be deprioritized in favor of other vital signs. Pain can influence other physiological parameters, so it should be addressed promptly.

Collaborate with the healthcare team: While nurses should assess pain independently, they should also communicate findings with physicians and other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care.

Empower patient involvement: Encourage patients to express their pain levels and concerns. Nurses should not wait for patients to request pain medication but should proactively manage pain based on assessments and patient feedback.
