as verbalized by the patient Objective: - pain P-pain is much felt when moving Q- sharp pain R- abdominal pain, does not radiate S- 6/10 pain scale T- pain was felt after an hour after the surgery - sleep disturbance -grimace -pallor
Nursing Diagnosis Acute pain related to surgical incision secondary to episiotomy as evidenced by pain scale of 6/10
Scientific Explanation
Planning Discharge outcome: Prior to discharge, the client will be able to report pain is relieve or control from 6/10 to 0/10
Intervention
Independent: - Assess pain through self report with the use of Numeric Rating Scale
Rationale
Evaluation Discharge outcome: Prior to discharge, the client will be able to report pain is relieved or controlled from 6/10 to 0/10
Short term outcome: After 8 hours of nursing intervention, the client will be able to: - decrease pain from 6/10 to 3/10 -verbalize 2-3 non pharmacologic method that relief pain
- The most reliable indicator of pain is through selfreport (ICSI, 2008). Assessing the patients current pain, pain goal, and how the pain interferes with activities will help the nurse develop a plan for managing pain (Akyol, Karayurt, & Salmond, 2009). The study found that patients who received the therapies required less opioids and reported lower levels of anxiety on postoperative day 2 (Pellino et al., 2005).
Short term outcome: After 8 hours of nursing intervention, the client will be able to: - decreased pain from 6/10 to 3/10 -verbalized 2-3 non pharmacologic method that relief pain
- Adie, Naylor, and Harris (2009) found that patients who used cold application saw a significant reduction in pain on postoperative day 2
- Music has been reported to have a positive impact on pain. A review of the effects of music on pain found that postoperative pain intensity was decreased by 0.5units (Cepeda, Carr, Lau, & Alvarez, 2006). - Postoperative complications are prevented with ambulation. Teach the patient how to use assistive devices and adhere to any weight-bearing restrictions that are ordered. The American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) supports mobilization and ambulation by the first day postoperative (Johanson et al., 2009). - Exercise can increase or maintain range of motion, increase blood flow,
- Instruct to perform
prevent muscle guarding, spasms, and contractures. Rest or immobilization may reduce edema formation. - Repositioning increases blood flow and prevents muscle guarding and spasms, which reduces acute pain or prevents additional pain. - Acute pain is best managed using pharmacologic agents (ICSI, 2008). Analgesia appears to be the best way to begin pain management.
