Pain Assessment and Management for the RN/LPN

There are a variety of essential skills required for the management of health in older adults. A central component of nursing practice is the ability to assess and intervene in cases where patients suffer pain. This is especially important in older people, as they may well lack the ability to verbalize their discomfort. The purpose of this book is to communicate the approach to pain in the elderly according to the Florida State University Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Partnership.
