Q

What to look for when doing a lower extremity evaluation?

A
  1. Vascularity and Color (lower extremities tend to have less circulation)

2.Inspect for Open areas or Ulcers

3.Identify varicosities and assess location

4.Inspect for pitting or non-pitting edema

  1. presence or not of hair on lower extremities
  2. Check for tenderness, pain, and erythema
  3. CMS
  4. Capillary refill in toes (brisk in 3 second return)

Malignant is associated with cancer

104
Q

Despite increases in pain treatment and success, pain is …

A

105
Q

The Pain Process Steps

A
  1. transduction
  2. transmission
  3. perception
  4. modulation
106
Q

Transduction (pain)

A

First stage of the pain process where pain receptors are activated by painful stimuli of chemical, mechanical, or thermal origin

electrical impulses converted from the pain stimuli travel to the spinal cord at the dorsal horn

107
Q

Sensory part of the spinal cord

A

dorsal horn

108
Q

Transmission (pain)

A

second phase of the pain process where pain sensations are conducted along pathways to the dorsal horn (if they stay there its a reflex)

109
Q

Perception (Pain)

A

third phase of the pain process involving the sensory process that occurs when a stimulus for pain is present

this is when the brain works and perceives pain and sets up the emotional status that effects the perception of the pain

110
Q

Pain Threshold

A

the LOWEST intensity when one perceives a stimulus that recognizes the pain

can change based on perception/emotion

111
Q

Modulation

A

the final phase of the pain process where neuromodulators alter and temper the perception of pain through endorphins and enkephalins

this is the phase where the body can help out in pain

112
Q

Gate Control Theory of Pain

A

The body creating good feelings (endorphins) can control pain, so it suggests pain impulses can be blocked by a gate between impulses and the dorsal horn by flooding it with modulating (not eliminating) substances

ex: Moist heating pad on back pain as a means of modulating pain

113
Q

Factors that influence the pain experience?

A

Culture
Ethnic Variables
Family
Gender (ex: estrogen may lower pain tolerance)
Age
Religious Beliefs
Environment and Support People
Anxiety and other Stressors
Past Pain Experiences

114
Q

Joint Health Commission on Pain

A

Standards made to improve pain management:

policies and procedures that address pain, treatment or referral for treatment, and reassessment for patients as it designates is needed by an accredited institution

115
Q

Examples of JCAHO Standards

A

Clinical Leadership team for pain

Actively engaging med staff in improving pain assessment and management including strategies to decrease opioid use and minimize risks associated with use

Provide at least one non-pharma pain treatment modality

Facilitate access to prescription drug monitoring programs

improve pain assessment by concentrating on how pain influences physical function

engage patients in treatment and decisions on pain management

address patient education and engagement

facilitate referral of patients addicted to opioids to treatment programs

116
Q

What brought about the JCAHO standards?

A

the opioid addiction crisis rising

117
Q

Misconceptions of joint commission pain standards?

A
  1. Pain as a vital sign - no, the healthcare institution decides that
  2. requires pain treatment until pain reaches zero - no, reassessment needed but not need reach 0
