Comfort and Pain Management

Part Two:

What is the prevalence of pain in older adults? How will you, as a nurse, be more aware of pain issues related to older adults, and what will the nurse incorporate into practice to alleviate these issues?

Persistent pain is pain that lasts for more than three months. According to Gibson and Lussier (2012), “persistent pain is one of the most prevalent health conditions faced by adults of advanced age, and is recognized as a major concern for this segment of the population.” The older population is often associated with chronic pain, which s makes it necessary for nurses to be aware of the situation and find a way to be more sensitive to the matter and incorporate it into practice to alleviate the issues. Assessing risk factors for pain could help nurses reduce pain levels among the older generation by mitigating these risks and finding solutions for them. “Chronic pain has been linked to several detrimental impacts in older persons, including mood disturbance, functional impairment, poorer sleep, and reduced quality of life” (Gibson & Lussier, 2012). Therefore, to alleviate these issues, a nurse must first understand the causes and if there are basic contributing factors such as hard mattresses and pillows.

Determining the pain level and the type of pain can help the nurse determine ways to improve the patient’s quality of life. Somatic pain affects “the bone and soft tissue masses, is well localized and is described as a throbbing or aching” while visceral pain is “associated with disorder or referred pain and I described as deep and aching” (Eliopoulos, 2018). Pain assessment through ongoing physical and cognitive examination enables the nurse to be more aware of pain issues and incorporate them into practice to alleviate the problems.

Planning has a number of advantages for healthcare organizations. For instance, planning can help organizations adapt, take advantage of opportunities, reach agreement on major issues, or even assign responsibilities for tasks.

Think about a healthcare organization you know (or have researched) and describe one advantage that this organization can gain by planning.

 This course project requires you to select a country and develop a paper about that country’s health delivery system. You paper will include the following:

-Demographic information and vital health statistics about the country

– current health status and brief history of the current healthcare system

-Cultural, religious, social, and political factors that affect the health system

-Challenges of the current healthcare system and issues being faced.

_Future health projection based on resources needed to address the country’s healthcare issues

– Comparison of the selected country and the U.S. health system.

For this assignment, choose a country for your course project. In at least one page, explain what country you’ve selected and why.
