TYPES OF PAIN
I. Acute Pain – Short-term, sudden onset (e.g., injury, surgery).
II. Chronic Pain – Long-term, lasts for more than 6 months (e.g.,
arthritis, cancer).
III.Referred Pain – Felt in an area different from the source (e.g., pain
from a heart attack felt in the arm).
IV. Neuropathic Pain – Caused by nerve damage (e.g., diabetic
neuropathy).
V. Psychogenic Pain – Related to psychological factors.(Stress
headache

•To develop and implement an individualized pain management
plan.
•To relieve or reduce pain to an acceptable level
•To monitor the effectiveness of pain interventions

ASSESSMENT “SOCRATES "
S- SITE – where exactly?
O- ONSET- from when?
C- CHARACTER- how pain looks like?
R- RADIATES- does the pain goes anywhere?
A- ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS- another symptoms
T-TIME DURATION- when and how along?
E- EXACERBATING/RELIEVING FACTORS- does pain was better or worse
S- SEVERITY- how extent pain is?
MS. ANEETA SHARMA

FACTORS TO CHOOSE PAIN SCALE
• Age of the patient
1
• Physical condition
2
• Level of pain
3
• Mental status
4
• Ability to communicate

PAIN ASSESSMENT TOOLS
1-Numeric
Rating Scale
(NRS)
2-Visual Analog
Scale (VAS)
3.Behavioural
pain scale
4-FLACC Scale
(Face, Legs,
Activity, Cry,
Consolability)
MS. ANEETA SHARMA
NURSING LECTURER(CHILD HEALTH NURSING)
1-Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)
• The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) is one of the most commonly used pain
assessment tools in clinical practice.
• The NRS asks the patient to rate their pain on a scale from 0 to 10, where:
• 0 = No pain
• 1–3 = Mild pain
• 4–6 = Moderate pain
• 7–10 = Severe pain
• 10 = Worst possible pain
MS. ANEETA SHARMA
NURSING LECTURER(CHILD HEALTH NURSING)
2-Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
• The Wong-Baker FACES Pain Scale is a widely used visual tool to
assess pain in children and patients who have difficulty communicating
verbally.
• This scale features 6 faces ranging from a happy face at 0 (no pain) to a
crying face at 10 (worst pain). Each face is associated with a number
and a description.
MS. ANEETA SHARMA
NURSING LECTURER(CHILD HEALTH NURSING)
3-BEHAVIOURAL PAIN SCALE
• The Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS) is a clinical tool used to assess pain
in non-verbal, critically ill, or sedated patients, especially those on
mechanical ventilation in intensive care units (ICUs).
• Since some patients cannot self-report pain, the BPS assesses
observable behaviors as indicators of pain.
• The scale evaluates three behavioral indicators; each scored from 1 to
4
MS. ANEETA SHARMA
NURSING LECTURER(CHILD HEALTH NURSING)
Category Score 1 Score 2 Score 3 Score 4
Facial Expression Relaxed Partially tightened Fully tightened Grimacing
Upper Limbs No movement Partially bent
Fully bent with
tension
Permanently
retracted
Compliance with
Ventilation (or
vocalization in non-
ventilated patients)
Tolerating movement
Coughing but
tolerating
Fighting ventilator
Unable to control
ventilation
Score Range Meaning
3 No pain
4–6 Mild pain
7–9 Moderate pain
10–12 Severe pain
MS. ANEETA SHARMA
NURSING LECTURER(CHILD HEALTH NURSING)
4-FLACC Scale
• The FLACC scale is a behavioral pain assessment tool used for infants, toddlers, and non-
verbal or cognitively impaired patients.
• It evaluates observable behaviors to estimate pain when the patient cannot self-report.
• FLACC stands for:
• F – Face
• L – Legs
• A – Activity
• C – Cry
• C – Consolability
MS. ANEETA SHARMA
NURSING LECTURER(CHILD HEALTH NURSING)
Category 0 1 2
Face No expression or smile
Occasional grimace or
frown, withdrawn
Frequent to constant
frown, clenched jaw,
quivering chin
Legs Normal position or relaxed Uneasy, restless, tense Kicking, legs drawn up
Activity
Lying quietly, moves
easily
Squirming, tense Arched, rigid, or jerking
Cry No cry (awake or asleep)
Moans or whimpers,
occasional complaint
Crying steadily, screams,
sobs
Consolability Content, relaxed Reassured by touch or talk
Difficult to console or
comfort
Total Score Pain Level
0 No pain
1–3 Mild discomfort
4–6 Moderate pain
7–10 Severe pain
MS. ANEETA SHARMA
NURSING LECTURER(CHILD HEALTH NURSING)
NURSING CARE
1-Non-Pharmacologic-
-Weight reduction
-Positioning for comfort
-Apply heat/cold application
-Encourage distraction techniques (TV
, music, talking)
-Support relaxation techniques: deep breathing, guided
imagery
-Offer massage, touch, or aromatherapy
MS. ANEETA SHARMA
NURSING LECTURER(CHILD HEALTH NURSING)
2.PHARMACOLOGIC-
ANALGESICS -
NON
OPIOIDS
OPIOIDS
ADUUSCENTS
MS. ANEETA SHARMA
NURSING LECTURER(CHILD HEALTH NURSING)
A. Non-Opioid Analgesics
Used for mild to moderate pain. Often first-line therapy.
E.G.-Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) ,Ibuprofen, Naproxen,
Diclofenac
B. Opioid Analgesics
Used for moderate to severe pain when non-opioids are insufficient.
E.G.-Morphine, Fentanyl, Tramadol
C. Adjuvant Medications
Drugs not primarily designed for pain but helpful for specific pain
types (especially neuropathic pain).
E.G.-Lidocaine patch, Capsaicin cream. Corticosteroids
MS. ANEETA SHARMA
NURSING LECTURER(CHILD HEALTH NURSING)
NURSES RESPONSBILITY
Use appropriate pain scale
Check respiratory rate, BP, and sedation level
Follow the 6 Rights: right patient, drug, dose, time, route,
documentation
Use aseptic technique if needed
Explain the medication to the patient
Reassess pain in 15–60 minutes (depending on route)
Watch for side effects (e.g., sedation, nausea, respiratory
depression)
Teach proper use and side effect reporting
Encourage early pain reporting
Record pain score, drug details, time given, and patient
response
