Pain assessment is the cornerstone to evidence-based pain management strategies. However, multiple barriers to pain assessment persist. Patients should be routinely screened for pain on admission to a hospital, clinic, long-term care facility, hospice, or home care setting. If new, persistent, or worsening pain exists, comprehensive pain assessment and reassessment is crucial and includes a detailed history (including substance abuse or misuse), a comprehensive physical examination, and patient self-report of pain, whenever possible. In the absence of patient self-report of pain, observing for nonverbal pain behaviors using reliable and valid assessment instruments is appropriate. Nurses and healthcare providers should follow the hierarchy of a pain assessment framework to guide pain assessment approaches.","PeriodicalId":239917,"journal":{"name":"Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse (CHPN®) Exam Review","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133719694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
