5. Drug seeking or real pain? How do you tell?

   Templedoll replied to JudyPRN's topic in Pain Management

   To DBMC, It sounds like you are really fed up and who could blame you. Obviously if you are experiencing pain like this then your pain management is not being controlled very well. This would be...

9. Prayer and patient care.

14. Drug seeking or real pain? How do you tell?

    Templedoll replied to JudyPRN's topic in Pain Management

    If a patient is seeking drugs but has no pain physically, mentally he has a lot of it. A nurse is never in the profession to play judge and jury. The best thing you can do is have belief in your...
