How Do Nurses Educate Patients About Pain Management?
Nurses play a crucial role in educating patients about pain management by: 1. Explaining Pain Management Plans: Discussing the rationale behind prescribed treatments. 2. Teaching Self-Management Techniques: Instructing on how to use non-pharmacological methods. 3. Medication Education: Informing about dosage, side effects, and the importance of adherence. 4. Setting Realistic Expectations: Helping patients understand that some pain may persist but can be managed effectively.
