How to assess pain quality? PAIN assessments aren't usually THIS👆🏽 painful😂😂😅

So here are a few important points to remember about PAIN:

🩹Pain is what the client says it is, and exists whenever the client says it does...it's SUBJECTIVE.

🩹 SELF-REPORT is the most reliable indicator of the pain experience

🩹 ASSESS for pain as part of your physical assessment...it's sometimes referred to as the “5️⃣th vital sign"

🩹Pain assessment is an ONGOING process rather than a one-time event...it's all about REASSESSING and CONSTANTLY evaluating pain especially when there are significant changes.
