The concepts of this theory are the balance between analgesia and side effects, pain, and side effects themselves. Opioid analgesics often have very unpleasant side effects, so the end result is often patients taking less medication than they actually need, which results in pain not being effectively relieved. The combination of potent analgesics, pharmacological and non-pharmacological adjuvants can allow for the pain relief needed and also help minimize or eliminate unwanted side effects. Nurses can work with the patient to educate them on the side effects of potent medication and help them set realistic goals. This will entail working with both the patient and physician to achieve the results desired.…

The implementation of vertebrates as model organisms in experimentations is universally controversial, particularly when the aforementioned research is explicitly pain oriented. Concern over the wellbeing of stereotypical lab animals such as rats and mice are not misplaced, as long term exposure to pain has high risks of inducing greater levels of anxiety, alcohol abuse, and disturbing altercations of previously established behaviors (Anand, 1999); the risk to develop chronic pain from periodic acute pain is also increased over long term exposure (Al-Chaer, 2000). These studies demonstrate the ramifications of pain related studies; both short term responses to pain and the potential developments of long term…
Pain management is a major concern for nursing care. Not only does controlling pain help the patient rest and heal, it also improves patient satisfaction. Pain management involves more than providing the patient with pain medication, it is an entire nursing process that starts at the time of admission. “A thorough pain history and shared goal setting are critical components of effective pain management that leads to beneficial outcomes” (Glowacki, 2015). Pain history includes past experiences of pain, current and past pain methods that have managed pain effectively, a tolerable level of pain, triggers of pain, and so on. Obtaining this history is imperative for the nurse in order to meet the patient’s pain management goals. This may just be…
In summary, this study evaluates the use of evidenced based practice by nurses to adequately assess those individuals with different cultural backgrounds as well as those who need long term pain management. Nurses who were in different stages of their career and who also had experience with a wide variety of patient populations ranging from those able to communicate pain as well as those who were not. The researchers used an electronic survey called the “Pain Assessment Survey” to obtain the data for this study. The beginning of the survey focused on obtaining background information about the nurse completing it, and the latter part used pain assessment tools to gather information about evidence based practice being used during assessment…

The nurses play an important role in the assessment and care of patients with pain. Pain is a big challenge for all clinicians because of its subjective nature. The nurse has to have a good understanding of the patient’s pain to do a good assessment and take good care of him or her.…
At a time when pain management is the prevalent way of dealing with challenges we as humans encounter towards the end of our lives, many of us have not had a chance to familiarize ourselves with the way dying occurs when we allow it to happen in its own good time while the dying individual receives full comfort care. What we do not know easily creates fear and this is especially true when it comes to a topic as emotionally charged as facing the death of a loved one. When it comes to Life-and -Death decisions for our loved ones though, fear does not serve us well as a guide. Is it possible to view death as a natural process and for it to become accepted as a part of life verses something that is feared?…
