   Nurses assist patients in their pain experience. The pain experience is dependent on many variables, such as age, culture, past experience, duration, and intensity. Although the experience of pain is subjective, nurses choose appropriate pain scales to quantify severity. Pain management is best accomplished by working closely with the health care team and in collaboration with the patient. The Joint Commission (2018) has revised pain assessment and management standards, requiring hospitals to have policies that engage patients in treatment decisions and include at least one non-pharmacological pain treatment modality.  

 Directions: Please read the “Joint Comission’s Pain Management Update” and discuss the following with your classmates.

1. Explain one non-pharmacological treatment that you offer patients and describe the context in which it seems to work best.

2. Is there an alternative method of pain relief that you would like to learn?

3. Describe your approach to assessing pain in your patients.

4. Describe how you include patients in pain management decisions

Hello Professor and Classmates,

My name is Sandra Robles. I’m from Puerto Rico. I like to watch movies and go ride with my family. I work in operating room for 22 years, I’m work in Jackson Medical Center, currently Circulating Nurse in the Operating Room doing Trauma/Bariatric/General surgeries and I would like to continue in this area assisting the Surgeon during procedures. I would like to learn about policies, research, analysis, how you have priorities, to grow professionally as a FNP. In 5 years I visualize me studying my PhD.

My greatest weakness is always to be more than I give. I overprotect my work a lot and take too much care of my patients. Mostly I work directly with overweight patients, who feel a lot of confusion and fear, I give moral support and I serve as an example, that bariatric surgery is the best decision they can have for both their physical and emotional health. Patient safety is first.

In my 22 years as a nurse I have never had a conflict with any co-worker, let alone a patient. I feel very capable and professional to be able to do things responsibly without having to make mistakes or have to mourn anything. For me my patients come first, I provide them with a clean and safe environment. With my co-workers they have all the help and confidence they need. I like to work as a team. But conflicts often happen in every area of work, if they always happened to notify the supervisor so that the problem does not get any further.
