Assessment and management of patients with post-operative pain
Nurs Stand.
2007 Oct.
Abstract
Effective pain management is essential in the post-operative period to ensure that patients do not experience unnecessary distress or suffering and to minimise potential complications. Post-operative pain management strategies should focus on combining pharmacological management and comfort measures to ensure maximum pain relief for each patient.
