Nurses play a critical role in pain management and patient care. The MPQ aids in: - Assessing Pain: It offers a detailed understanding of the patient's pain, which is crucial for creating an effective pain management plan. - Monitoring Progress: By administering the MPQ at different stages of treatment, nurses can track changes in pain intensity and quality, helping to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. - Communication: It enhances communication between patients and healthcare providers by providing a standardized way to describe pain, reducing misunderstandings.
