    webblarsk replied to Severina's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    webblarsk replied to javanurse2000's topic in General Nursing

    I have come across the same problem and it makes me so angry. Just because these people can't verbalize pain it dosen't mean they aren't having any. I watch for the non-verbal signs and give pain...
