Nurses can assess comfort levels using various methods:
Observation: Nurses can observe non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and signs of distress or relaxation. Patient Feedback: Directly asking patients about their comfort levels can provide valuable insights. Tools like pain scales and comfort questionnaires can be useful. Monitoring Vital Signs: Changes in vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate can indicate discomfort or pain.
