I had debate with an nurse and want to clear things out as I did not find clear answer for that question
The question is
What are an services?
My answer was
Pain Management
Post operative care in terms of pain
She told wrong the answer should be
Epidural
PCA
Etc
I told those put under category of pain management
Any input in term of APN services will appreciated
Apology if wrong section
To edit some terms, used APS instead of APN Acute Pain Services Rectify the question to the following What are the services you provide in your hospital as an APS nurse? To clear the debate, what do you think I am not a specialist as an acute pain service nurse? The APS nurse asked me through my orientation program about the services we provide; my answer was Pain management and post OP care related to the pain. The APS nurse told me I am wrong; the correct answer should be epidural, PCA, Non-pharmaceutical, and Multimodal analgesia.
my argument was that what you mentioned categorized under pain management per the definition if you want to present services should be by description, not the types of pain management as your question was not formulated correctly
Any input would be appreciated and again sorry if wrong section
