Assess pain at rest and during movement to distinguish background pain from pain associated with activity.
03
Front
When should pain be assessed around a procedure?
Back
Assess pain before, during, and after procedures to understand its course and guide care adjustments.
04
Front
What is the preferred pain assessment when a patient can communicate?
Back
Use the patient’s self-report whenever they can communicate; it is preferred over estimating pain from appearance or behavior alone.
05
Front
Beyond intensity, what can a pain assessment ask about?
Back
Ask about pain intensity and, when useful, its location, quality, and effect on activity.
06
Front
Can burn appearance establish the patient’s pain level?
Back
Burn appearance alone does not establish how much pain a person feels.
07
Front
How should pain be assessed when a patient cannot self-report?
Back
When self-report is not possible, use an appropriate observational pain assessment tool and continue monitoring.
08
Front
What is one example of an observational pain tool?
Back
The Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT) is an example of an observational tool that may support assessment.
09
Front
Why is heart rate alone insufficient for pain assessment?
Back
No single sign, such as heart rate, is enough on its own to establish pain.
10
Front
What guides a multimodal burn pain plan?
Back
Tailor a multimodal pain plan to the patient and clinical context; it may combine medications with supportive techniques.
11
Front
How may medication approaches be combined for burn pain?
Back
Depending on the patient’s condition and contraindications, treatment may combine nonopioid medications with opioids when needed and other approaches.
12
Front
What should be monitored alongside pain relief during medication treatment?
Back
Monitor for adverse effects as well as pain relief; respond to the patient’s condition and follow clinical protocols.
