Music Therapy There is a clinical and evidence-based use of music therapy offering a low-risk, inexpensive, non-pharmacological addition to standard care in pain management. Music therapy assists the patient in helping regain self-control and to become actively involved in the management of pain (Gutgsell et al, 2013). The different types of music interventions include singing, listening to music, and song writing that aid in enhancing relaxation, providing opportunities for self-expression, facilitating communication with loved ones, and bringing beauty to suffering (Gutgsell, 2013). This aids in relieving anxiety and fear. The music therapist utilizes methods of muscle relaxation and guide for incorporating breathing with images of pain relief…

A study by Ramsay (2000) suggests that inadequate management of pain could increase the morbidity as well as mortality rate. Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) is typically provided to a patient who is…
Most of the time the child was crying due to pain. He was not getting adequate management for pain. Hammes BJ, Cain JM (1994) said that many national guidelines reported the ethical issues related to pain management and the main problem is in the application of these standards into practice. The child’s pain control can be achieved by means of initiating patient control analgesics concept and complementary therapy like music therapy also an initiative to reduce the pain. Palliative care has a great implication in nursing field.…

Nursing Intervention to evaluate client’s response to pain: note cultural and developmental influences affecting pain response. Verbal and behavioral cues may have no direct relationship to the degree of pain…
The nurse is a key individual in the assessment, administration and education of interventions, and the evaluation of the impact of interventions on an individual patient. Nurses make significant contributions to facilitate communication and decision-making in the pain management of patients (Pellino et. al, 2005). Therefore, having a key understanding of both pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions is an essential for positive pain management.…
UNJUST PAIN MANAGEMENT For the African-American Community As nurse, we seek to aide all of those who seek our help. However, not everyone is treated justly when it comes to pain management and pain control. An example of this disparity would be the case Dominique Oliver, an African American male, received a compound fracture to his lower leg while attempting to steal a soccer ball from a player on the opposing team while playing sports in high school.…
Chronic (non-cancer) pain management is a complex part of healthcare. Treating patients in order to relieve pain is often hard to do in a completely safe and risk free manner, especially in the long term. A common treatment method for individuals with chronic pain is opioid painkillers. Opioid painkillers have numerous side effects with the biggest risks being that of abuse, dependence, and the possibility of death from an overdose. The risk of using opioids compared to the benefits, or efficacy, is evaluated through conducting a case-control study.…
Therefore, this review of literature will explore current research on if the combination of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological pain interventions are more effective than just pharmacological pain methods alone on acute pain in pediatric patients. CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), PubMed, and the Cochrane database were searched. Key words used for the search included: nonpharmacological pain management, distraction, anxiety, pediatric pain, acute pain, and pediatric pain…
Statement of the Problem Health care facilities are consistently looking for new ways to improve patient satisfaction in all aspects of the hospital experience (Gebremedhn, Chekol, Amberbir, & Flatie, 2015). Patient satisfaction is important for both improving patient recovery and for improving hospital ratings and overall atmosphere of the facility (Gebremedhn et al., 2015). Because of this, hospital staffs are considering different ways to ameliorate the experience of patients, especially in the aspect of pain relief in anesthesiology. Anesthesiology is the practice of medicine dedicated to pain relief. Health care professionals are currently studying further the role of anesthesiology in improving patient satisfaction.…
On the other hand, the need to inquire from the nurses and staff within this unit would help identify the nurse’s or staff knowledge on the management of pain in patients (Bowling, 2014). The committee would inquire from the patients about their overall satisfaction of care while also asking the nurses and staff to identify the methods of pain assessment as well as interventions they have been using (Bowling, 2014). PICOT Question: For postoperative patients in the surgical floor, would the use of music therapy as a complementary therapy as compared to the current pain management standards would help improve patient’s pain management?…
overdoesBeing responsible with your pain killers is super important. Just because you have strong pain killers and you don't get addicted doesn't mean someone else won't. If you break your arm and the doctor prescribes a painkiller to help with the pain for the next few days, you need to keep them in a high place or locked up. Esspecialy if you have children or family members with you. Not saying that you can't trust your family.…
This also provides the opportunity to recognize side effects and ways to minimize them. The use of new interventions would be used if the initial pain regimen was unsuccessful. Re-intervention would be required in order to make another attempt at pain control. Lastly, patient participation plays a large role in this theory. The patients’ contribution allows for an understanding of their expectations for pain control, in other words, setting…
Addiction does not care where you came from, where you are, what kind of job you have or the type of house you live in. It doesn’t care who you associate with, your socioeconomic status, what kind of degree you hold, or where you went to school. No; addiction is not discriminatory and as quickly as you have built your empire, it will steal it all away. Millions of Americans are struggling in silence with the disease of addiction and if we don’t establish a method to effectively treat it, the statistics will continue to rise at an alarming rate. While opiates are effective for pain management, they can be addictive and we must treat the epidemic of addiction through easier access to medication assisted detoxification and maintenance, access to longer inpatient and outpatient therapy, and stringent regulation and monitoring of opioid prescriptions and use.…
1) If brain surgeons could safely install and electrode in my brain for pleasure, so I could press it at any time to receive a flooded response of pleasure. I would think this would be good and bad in different perspectives. If I was in extreme chronic pain, it would affect me in a positive way. I would no longer have pain. I would be able to connect with people on a daily basis, also be able to interact with everyone on a normal basis.…
