25
transmission
impulse traveling up spinal cord to higher center
26
perception
awareness of the characteristics of pain
27
pain threshold
lowest intensity of a stimulus that causes you to recognize pain
28
is threshold same or different in people
same
29
pain tolerance
greatest level of pain that a subject is ale to endure
30
is tolerance the same or different
different
31
modulation
inhibition or modification of pain
32
gate control theory explains why
different people interpret similar painful stimuli differently
33
gate open
allow sensations to be felt
34
gate closed
less transmission up to brain
35
gating mechanisms determines the impulse
that reaches the brain
36
what are some things that close the gate
music back rub warm compress
37
duration of pain
acute chronic
38
acute pain
sudden onset result of clearly defined cause heals when underlying cause heals
39
chronic
any pain that lasts beyond normal healing peroid
40
patients with chronic pain have difficultly
describing pain because it is poorly localized
41
3 responses to pain
physiologic behavioral affective
42
physiologic
increase in pulse, BP, RR
43
who might not have a physiologic response
chronic pain because they have adapted to pain
44
is physiologic response always present
no
45
behavioral is voluntary or involuntary
voluntary
46
examples of behavioral responses
protecting, grimacing, moaning
47
affective response
pain causes fear, anger, depression
48

55
when should pain be assessed
regular intervals new report of pain after pharm and non pharm intervention
56
what do we assess with pain
sedation
57
why do we assess after pharm and non pharm
if it worked evaluation
58
why is it important to asses sedation
because it helps us decide best intervention because if the patient is sedated we do not want to give a opioid because they are depressors
59
steps of pain assessment
intesnity location quality aggravating and alleviating factors goals
60
FLACC
faces, legs, arms, cry, consoability
61
1-10
numerical used in patient who can talk

69

atractable pain leads to
boedbound/house bound early death
77
how does phantom limb pain resolve
with time
78
aggravating/alleviating factors
what makes it worse better affected by movement or postion does nonpharm help
79
do we rely on vital sign change
no
80
we need to educate patient to tell us
when pain starts
81
non pharm relief
complementary alternative therapies
82
can nonpharm be used with pharm
yes or alone
83
are non pharm orders
no they are independent nursing interventions
