Chapter 31 Lesson 31.1 Copyright © 2014, 2009 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Learning Objectives Theory 1) Discuss the application of The Joint Commission pain standards in planning patient care. 2) Give the rationale for why pain is considered the “fifth vital sign.” 3) Illustrate the physiology of pain using the gate control theory. 4) Describe the use of a variety of nursing interventions for pain control, including biofeedback, distraction, guided imagery, massage, and relaxation. Copyright © 2014, 2009 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Slide 3 Learning Objectives Clinical Practice 1) Assist the patient in accurately describing sensations of pain and discomfort. 2) Accurately and appropriately record the patient’s report of pain using clear, descriptive terms. 3) Assist the patient in using a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit. 4) Evaluate the effects of various techniques used for pain control. 5) Assist with the care of patients receiving patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) or epidural analgesia. 6) Evaluate the effects of pain medication, and report and record observations appropriately.

Slide 4 Pain Pain is the feeling of distress and discomfort Affects or interferes with normal activity No accurate objective measurement of pain Pain assessment is performed along with each assessment of vital signs and is considered the “fifth vital sign” Copyright © 2014, 2009 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Slide 5 Pain (cont’d) Surgical patients experience postoperative pain Many medical conditions cause pain Headache, myocardial infarction Cancer, fractures Cuts and abrasions Copyright © 2014, 2009 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Slide 6 The Joint Commission: Pain Control Standards Patients have the right to appropriate assessment and management of pain Pain is assessed in all patients Patients are educated about pain and managing pain as part of the treatment, as appropriate The discharge process provides for continuing pain care based on the patient’s needs at the time of discharge Copyright © 2014, 2009 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Slide 7 Theories of Pain Pain defined as a feeling of distress or suffering caused by the stimulation of nerve endings Pain serves as a warning of tissue damage and allows sufferer to withdraw from the source of the pain Pain is transmitted through the nervous system Copyright © 2014, 2009 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Slide 8 Figure 31-1: Pain transmission Copyright © 2014, 2009 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Slide 9 Gate Control Theory Pain viewed as being controlled by a gate mechanism in the central nervous system Opening the gate allows transmission of pain Closing the gate blocks the transmission of pain The gate may be opened by activity in smalldiameter nerves, such as tissue damage Large-diameter nerve activity seems to close the gate Lack of input allows the gate to open Copyright © 2014, 2009 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Slide 10 Figure 31-2: The gate control theory of pain Copyright © 2014, 2009 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Slide 11 Endorphins Endorphins are endogenous, naturally occurring opiate-like peptides that modify the perception of pain They attach to opioid receptors and block pain Physiologic and psychological stressors can cause the release of endorphins Long-distance runners often get an endorphin high Copyright © 2014, 2009 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
