Course Details

Overview

Patients with chronic pain are at higher risk for uncontrolled pain during and after surgery. Nurses can serve as liaisons between patients and an interdisciplinary team to mitigate pain. To be effective in this role, nurses need to understand recommendations for preparing patients with chronic pain for surgery, how to set expectations for pain management, and pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatment options.

Key Learning Outcomes

  1. Describe preoperative pain assessment and education.
  2. Discuss the pharmacologic management of pain in postoperative patients.
  3. Identify patients at risk for adverse effects of postoperative pharmacologic pain management.
