A holistic approach provides an in-depth understanding of pain and includes practical assessment tools along with coverage of opioid and non-opioid analgesics, interventional and herbal approaches to pain, and much more. Written by experts Maureen F. Cooney and Ann Quinlan-Colwell, this reference is a complete, step-by-step guide to contemporary pain assessment and management.
- Evidence-based, practical guidance helps students learn to plan and implement pain management, and aligns with current guidelines and best practices. - Comprehensive information on the pharmacologic management of pain includes nonopioid analgesics, opioid analgesics, and co-analgesics, including dose titration, routes of administration, and prevention of side effects. - UNIQUE! Multimodal approach for pain management is explored throughout the book, as it affects assessment, the physiologic experience, and the culturally determined expression, acknowledgement, and management of pain. - UNIQUE! Holistic, integrative approach includes thorough coverage of pain management with non-pharmacologic methods. - Clinical scenarios are cited to illustrate key points. - Equivalent analgesic action for common pain medications provides readers with useful guidance relating to medication selection. - Pain-rating scales in over 20 languages are included in the appendix for improved patient/clinician communication and accurate pain assessment. - UNIQUE! Authors Maureen F. Cooney and Ann Quinlan-Colwell are two of the foremost authorities in multimodal pain assessment and management. - Sample forms, guidelines, protocols, and other hands-on tools are included, and may be reproduced for use in the classroom or clinical setting.
