Rate this question:
It is a complex, abstract, personal subjective experience
An unpleasant sensation caused by noxious stimulation of the sensory nerve endings
A cardinal symptom of inflammation
Pain is whatever the person says it is, existing whatever he says it does
Both the person in pain and the health care professional are experts about the pain
Rate this question:
Self protective and has a narrow focus; withdraws from social contacts and impairs thought processes

Presents facial mask of pain; eyes that are dull, teeth clenched
Alterations in muscle tone, diaphoresis, changes in blood pressure and pulse
Displays perky, manic obsessive mood swings
Rate this question:
An unpleasant tactile and sentimental experience associated with the entrance of pathogens that causes a disrupted homeostasis
An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage

Rate this question:
The stimuli for pain is shut off when chemical elements stimulate the gates that trigger pain receptors
When gates are closed, pain impulses are blocked. Sensory impulses such as back rub, heat of a warm compress, cold ice applications, will close the gates to painful stimuli because they are distracting the brain from interpreting a painful stimuli
The gate theory explains that pain is reduced because the compensatory mechanisms of the CNS emulates analgesia
The "gate theory" proposes that for every painful sensation, there is a defense mechanism the shuts off further transmission of pain
Rate this question:
Endorphins are chemical substances directly responsible for shutting down the gates that simulate pain
Endorphins block sensory sites for pain
Endorphins are elements that take away sensation, therefore they take away pain
Stress and pain activate endorphins. Analgesia results when certain endorphins attach to opioid receptor sites in the brain and prevent the release of neurotransmitters, thereby inhibiting the transmission of pain impulses
Rate this question:
Patients have the right to an appropriate assessment.
Patients will be treated for pain or referred for treatment
Patients do not need to be involved in making care decisions
Discharge planning and teaching will include continuing care based on the patient's needs at the time of discharge, including the need for pain management
Patients will be taught that pain management is part of treatment
Rate this question:
Ask patients about their pain, then respect and accept what they say.
Intervene to relieve their pain and ask them again about their pain.
Pain assessment is a linear task of assessment, intervention, and reassessment
Without assessment of the patient's pain, none of the pain relief measurement will be useful

Rate this question:
Changes n peripheral vascular function and skin as well as decreased transmission of pain impulses place the older adult at risk for being unable to sense pain
The effects of aging on the pain process re sometimes compounded in an older adult who has a chronic illness that affects the nervous system
The risk for gastric and renal toxicity from NSAIDs is increased in older adults
Meperidine is an ideal choice for pain control in the older adult
Rate this question:
Delays gastric emptying, slows bowel motility and decreases peristalsis
Reduces secretions from colonic mucosa
Gastrointestinal dysfunction can result in ileus, fecal impaction, and obstruction
Loose bowel movement is the most common side effect of opioids and the only one for which individuals develop tolerance

PCA
BSP
Rate this question:
PCA and PRN are administered according to specific times as prescribed
PCA is administered by the patient which eliminates wait time for a nurse who usually administers a PRN
PCA is more effective than a PRN medication
PRN medication can also be administered by a patient without any supervision
Rate this question:
Any patient has the right to use a PCA if so preferred
Patients with respiratory problems and renal or hepatic complications are ideal candidates for PCA
PCA should be used by an alert oriented patient and should receive instructions before surgery
PCA is for patient use only delivered either through bolus dose or continuous infusion
Instruct patient on the purpose of PCA, operating instructions, lockout intervals, expected pain relief, precautions and potential side effects.
Rate this question:
Epidural medication diffuses slowly from the epidural space across the dura and arachnoid matters membranes into the CSF
Drugs used for epidural analgesia are morphine, fentanyl, and hydromorphone
It is an appropriate first-line route for moderate to severe acute pain expected to last for at least 24 hours.
Epidural analgesia is beneficial for controlling acute pain during labor and for relieving chronic pain, such as that seen in patients with advanced cancer
Rate this question:
IV and oral routes are preferred; IM and SubQ are best avoided
IV and oral routes are best avoided; IM and SubQ are preferred
IV, oral, IM and SubQ are equally preferred
Oral, IM and SubQ should all be avoided
Rate this question:
Use NSAIDs or milder opioids for mild to moderate pain
Use of NSAIDs can help reduce opioid side effects
Morphine and Hydromorphone are the opioids of choice for long term management of severe pain
Injectable medications act more quickly often relieving severe acute pain within an hour. Oral medications take as long as two hours
Rate this question:
Only before a required wound dressing change or before physical therapy
Only as needed on a PRN basis according to the MAR
Do not give analgesics only on "as needed" schedule. An around the clock administration schedule is best
An hour before or after meal time
Rate this question:
Failure to treat pain is patient abandonment. Every patient has the right to cure his pain
Failure to treat pain is inhumane and constitutes professional negligence. Every patient has the right to be free of pain.
Failure to treat pain is a violation against the patient's bill of rights. The patient has the right for a proper litigation
Failure to treat pain is against agency policy. The nurse may be terminated from employment for not doing so

Consider the patient's ability or willingness to participate in pain relief measures
Rate this question:
Choose pain relief measures appropriate to the severity of the pain as reflected by the patient's behavior
If therapy is ineffective at first, encourage the patient to try again before finally giving it up.
Keep a scientific mind about what has potential to relieve pain only in so far as patient compliance exists.
Keep trying
Protect the patient
Rate this question:
Diuretics
Antihistamine

Rate this question:
Bed rest does not necessarily mean a patient is resting. Emotional or metabolic stressors naturally cause the patient to be restless
Sleep is a state of rest that occurs for a sustained period
The theory that sleep is associated with healing suggests that achieving optimum sleep quality is important for patient's recovery
The sleep of an older adult is less deep which increases the risk of early awakening and complaints of sleep disturbance.
Hospitals and other health care facilities are the best places for a person to sleep
