comfort and relieve the pain, it indicates that the patient is ad dressing Provocation/Palliation. If the
patient reports about severity of pain on a scale of 0 to 10, then it indicates that the patient is
addressing Severity. When addressing the Quality/Quantity of the pain, the patient describes the pain
felt. If the p atient reports about the site of pain, then the patient is addressing Region/Radiation.
