NURS 202 - FUNDAMENTAL - Painassess and recognize cues fully solved
graded A+
Which aspect would the nurse consider when conducting a pain assessment for a patient in a non-life-
threatening situation?
The patient's value and beliefs about pain affect the assessment
The nurse's values and beliefs about pain may influence the assessment.
A calm and supportive manner promotes effective communication
The patient's value and beliefs about pain affect the assessment?

which technology innovation can the nurse use to accurately assess or manage pain?
- Informatics
- pharmacogenomics
- Neuroimaging Biomarkers
- Magnetic resonance imaging
Informatics
can be applied via the use of algorithms to assess and differentiate types of pain, as well as to guide pain
management.
pharmacogenomics
,can also be incorporated into pain assessment and management because variations in genes can be
predictive of the patients response to medication therapy.
Neuroimaging Biomarkers
related to pain have been identified via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and can be used to predict
patient prognosis, anticipate response to treatment, diagnose pain disorders, and identify target
interventions.
Magnetic resonance imaging
MRI, used to image soft tissue structures such as the interior of complex joints - can be used to predict
patient prognosis, anticipate response to treatment, diagnose pain disorders, and identify target
interventions.
