PAIN MANAGEMENT IN NURSING PRACTICE

Nurses must possess a high level of pain management skills, where their experience in the field is a key indicator of their ability to effectively manage pain. Not only do they hold a crucial position in the realm of pain management, but they also employ a variety of methods, both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical, to address pain-related issues. Additionally, nurses are known to dedicate the most time to patients, thereby establishing their significance in assessing and treating pain. It is crucial for nurses to engage in ongoing education and training to enhance their understanding and implementation of pain management techniques. This continuous learning ensures the selection of appropriate tools and scales for pain assessment tailored to factors such as the patient's age, condition, and the specific clinical environment.
