1 -- If the patient says he or she has pain, the patient is in pain. All pain is real. Nurses should not be judgmental when responding to a patient’s report of pain. This is a common bias and is a barrier to effective pain management of patients. The other responses would be a bias of the nurse’s interpretation.
Don't forget to give me a thumbs up!
