Pain: The Resident's Perspective Order# RP107
Staff may quantify pain on numerical scales, but residents have much more to say about pain than just a number. "Sometimes it is so bad, I hear myself shouting out," says one resident. Another adds, "Tears just keep rolling down my face, I never thought I would cry from pain." The intensity, the emotion, and the honesty of these residents' comments need to be heard by all caregivers of the elderly.
