Title: The nurse is managing care for a group of patients with pain. Which of the follo Post by: colleen on Dec 28, 2012 The nurse is managing care for a group of patients with pain. Which of the following is an example of a process that may cause acute pain?
1. cholecystectomy 2. phantom limb pain 3. complex regional pain syndrome 4. degenerative joint disease Title: Re: The nurse is managing care for a group of patients with pain. Which of the follo Post by: robertling on Jan 4, 2013 1 -- Surgical pain, such as after gallbladder removal, is considered acute pain because it should have a duration of less than six months. The neuropathic pain associated with amputation, phantom limb pain, may not begin immediately and may become a chronic problem lasting more than six months. Complex regional pain syndrome is a chronic exaggerated response to a painful stimulus. Degenerative joint disease is chronic and while may not progress, does not usually improve.
