Nonpharmacological Pain Management Case Study

It is important to make your patient as comfortable as possible when providing treatment or generally caring for the patient. I always try to provide comfort to my patient by giving them personal hygiene, cleaning their bed, putting their bed on preferred level, and put personal belongings reachable according to the client’s preference The client has to be as comfortable as possible while on the process of being transferred from bed to wheelchair and vice versa. Comfortable lighting, providing rest, and privacy are also provided to maintain patient’s comfort.
Since student nurses cannot administer pain medication as needed, I mostly taught patients to use nonpharmacological pain management techniques to alleviate pain. These nonpharmacological
pain management techniques include guided imagery, prayer, music, relaxation, distraction, and deep breathing. Message was also given to alleviate pain to one of my patient.
