What are some good mneumonics for ASSESSMENT of CHEST PAIN and ASSESSMENT of ABDOMINAL PAIN?I have an interview in a couple weeks at the hosptial to work as a student nurse and I'm guessing that they may ask these types of questions about assessment. I need something to help me remember under pressure!I am on the right track?..Pt complains of chest pain:-Ask patient when it started? (onset)-Ask patient what the pain feels like? (quality) and is it radiating anywhere?-Does pt seem SOB? Ask pt is they are having SOB? Assess lung sounds.-Ask patient if they have had chest pain in the past?-Where they doing something that brought on the pain, such as exercising?-Ask about medications pt is on?.....Abd pain:- onset?- where is pain located? radiating? quality? pain scale?- Any nausea or vomiting?- Last BM? flatus?- Bowel sounds- Gentle palpation to feel for masses, tender areas, rigidity, rebound tenderness?**What am I missing for both pain assessments??Thanks so much everyone! Your responses are greatly appreciated!
