Transcript

Slide 1-

Pain Management Purpose: This program is to describe basic pain management principles related to types of pain, how to recognize pain, and how to use pharmacological and non-pharmacological pain treatments.
Slide 2-

Objectives Understand how the management of pain affects the quality of life of the LTC resident. Develop an awareness of misconceptions and consequences of untreated pain. Recognize different types of pain and identify appropriate analgesics for each type.
Slide 3-

Objectives, cont. Utilize pain assessment tools as needed for facility residents. Understand how to determine correct doses of analgesics, as resident needs change. Understand that all team members have a role in assessment and treatment of pain.
Slide 4-

Introduction Responsibility for Effective Pain Relief Pain is what a patient says it is. Pain is totally subjective. In LTC, residents do no always verbalize their pain but express it is other ways. LTC residents often have more than one source of pain. LTC residents are at increased risk of drug interactions.
Slide 5-

Introduction, cont. Pain is common at end of life as a result of arthritis, circulatory disorders, immobility, neuropathy, cancer and other age-related conditions. Everyone experiences pain differently. Older patients report pain differently. Institutionalized elderly are often stoic about pain.
Slide 6-

Introduction, cont. One person’s report of severe pain may seem like almost nothing compared to another. Caregiver’s challenge is to assess all relevant factors without imposing personal biases. Resident’s self-report of pain is the single most reliable indicator of pain.
Slide 7-

Introduction, cont. All LTC staff and resident’s family share in the role of pain management. Residents may not have pain when not moving and caregivers report pain when he or she is moving or doing ADLs. Everyone caring for the resident must know to recognize and report pain.
Slide 8-

“In any LTC facility, the quality of the pain control will be influenced by the availability of a pain management program and the training, expertise, and experience of its members.”
Slide 9-

Common Misconceptions about Pain The caregiver is the best judge of pain. A person with pain will always have obvious signs such as moaning, abnormal vital signs, or not eating. Pain is a normal part of aging. Addiction is common when opioid medications are prescribed.
Slide 10-

Common Misconceptions about Pain, cont. Morphine and other strong pain relievers should be reserved for the late stages of dying. Morphine and other opioids can easily cause lethal respiratory depression. Pain medication should be given only after the resident develops pain. Anxiety always makes pain worse.
Slide 11-

Consequences of Untreated Pain What happens if pain isn’t properly treated? Poor appetite and weight loss Disturbed sleep Withdrawal from talking or social activities Sadness, anxiety, or depression Physical and verbal aggression, wandering, acting-out behavior, resists care Difficulty walking or transferring; may become bed bound
Slide 12-

Consequences of Untreated Pain, cont. Skin ulcers Incontinence Increased risk for use of chemical and physical restraints Decreased ability to perform ADL’s Impaired immune function
Slide 13-

Descriptions of Pain Categories of Pain by Duration Acute Pain Brief duration, goes away with healing, usually 6 months or less. Not necessarily more severe than chronic May be sudden onset or slow in onset Examples are broken bones, strep throat, and pain after surgery or injury
Slide 14-

Descriptions of Pain Categories of Pain by Duration Chronic Cancer Pain Pain is expected to have an end, with cure or with death. Aggressive treatment Addiction not a concern
Slide 15-

Categories of Pain by Duration Chronic Non-Malignant Pain Pain has no predictable ending Difficult to find specific cause Often can’t be cured Frequently undertreated
Slide 16-

Categories of Pain by Type Somatic Source: Skin, muscle, and connective tissue Examples: Sprains, headaches, arthritis Description: Localized, sharp/dull, worse with movement or touch Pain med: Most pain meds will help, if severe, need a stronger medication
Slide 17-

Categories of Pain by Type Visceral Source: Internal organs Examples: Tumor growth, gastritis, chest pain Description: Not localized, refers, constant and dull, less affected with movement Pain Med: Stronger pain medications
Slide 18-

Categories of Pain by Type Bone Pain Source: Sensitive nerve fibers on the outer surface of bone Examples: Cancer spread to bone, fx, and severe osteoporosis Description: Tends to be constant, worse with movement Pain Med: Stronger pain meds, opiates with NSAIDS as adjunct
Slide 19-

Categories of Pain by Type Neuropathic Source: Nerves Examples: Diabetic neuropathy, phantom limb pain, cancer spread to nerve plexis Description: Burning, stabbing, pins and needles, shock-like, shooting Pain Meds: Opioates+tricyclic antidepressants or other adjuvant
Slide 20-

Pain Assessment Asking about pain is an important part of ALL assessments!! Everyone caring for the resident is to know to report pain. Charge nurses must assess all reports of pain. Assessments to identify and treat pain must be ongoing. Elderly residents require frequent monitoring for pain.
Slide 21-

Residents with Dementia or Communication Difficulties Consider the following when assessing residents with dementia or communication problems: Ask the resident if he or she is having pain. Consider the disease condition and procedures that may be causing pain, think “if I were that resident, would I want something for pain?”
Slide 22-

Residents with Dementia or Communication Difficulties, cont. Use proxy pain reporting-family, staff Be alert for behaviors that may indicate pain. Facial expressions Physical movements Vocalizations Social changes Aggression
Slide 23-

Treatment of Pain Rules of thumb, common sense rules: Use the lowest effective dose by the simplest route. Start with the simplest single agent and maximize it’s potential before adding other drugs. Use scheduled, long-acting pain medications for constant or frequent pain, with prn, short-acting medication available for breakthrough. Treat breakthrough pain with one-third the 12 hours scheduled dose.
Slide 24-

Treatment of Pain, cont. If three or more prn doses are used in a day, increase the scheduled dose. Increase by ¼ - ½ of the prior dose. Increase the prn dose when you increase the scheduled dose. Be vigilant at assessing the side effects of medication. Treat or prevent side effects, such as constipation and nausea. Change medication as necessary.
Slide 25-

Treatment of Pain, cont. Use the WHO’s step-wise approach, also called WHO Analgesic Ladder, Subsection 2.7 in Manual. Reevaluate and adjust medications at regular intervals and as necessary. Do not stop pain medication in terminal patients. Chang the route if needed.
Slide 26-

Pain Management in the Elderly Elderly present several pain management problems: Little attention in the literature for physicians or nurses on topic of pain in the elderly. Elderly report pain differently due to changes in aging-physically, psychologically, culturally. Institutionalized elderly often stoic about pain. Cognitive impairment, delirium, and dementia present barriers to pain assessment.
Slide 27-

Opioid Use in the Elderly Educating staff is essential!! Opioids produce higher plasma concentrations in older persons Greater sensitivity in both analgesic properties and side effects Smaller starting doses required Consider duration of action, formulation availability, side-effect profile, and resident preference. Review for drug interactions
Slide 28-

Opioid Use in the Elderly, cont. Older persons may have fluctuating pain levels and require rapid titration or frequent breatkthrough medication. Long-acting are generally suitable once steady pain levels have been achieved. Once steady pain relief levels are achieved, controlled-released formulas can be used. Fentanyl patches should not be placed on areas of the body that may receive excessive heat. Patches may be contraindicated with exceptionally low body fat.
Slide 29-

Pain Management Risk for LTC Residents Frail elderly at risk for both under and over treatment of pain. NSAIDS and acetaminophen are effective and appropriate for a variety of pain complaints. NSAIDS risk gastric and renal toxicity Unusual drug reactions more common in the elderly. Staff must be aware of side effects and there must be an effective communication method for staff to know adverse drug reactions.
Slide 30-

What Everyone Can do to Manage Pain Show that you care. Talk to the resident, even if he/she doesn’t understand. Talk to, not around, the resident. Make the room pleasant. Take care of the basics-glasses, hearing aides, dry clothes toileting, food, fluids. Communicate with the team-let others know what works.
Slide 31-

What Everyone Can do to Manage Pain, cont. Always report pain. Pain IS NOT a normal part of aging. Understand the care plan for pain-pain management is a team approach. Use relaxation methods to decrease anxiety and muscle tension. Use tactile strategies like stroking and massage. Music, art and meditation can be very helpful. Don’t forget the team. Pt for mobility and safety, OT for positioning and splints.
Slide 32-

MDS and Regulatory Requirements The following MDS items could be primary or secondary triggers for recognizing pain: Section E.1 Mood and Behavior Patterns For example, repetitive verbalization, persistent anger, repetitive health complaints; sad, worried, facial expression, crying, tearfulness, repetitive movements, reduced social interaction.
Slide 33-

MDS and Regulatory Requirements, cont. Section E.4. Mood and Behavior Patterns For example, wandering, verbally abusive, physically abusive, socially inappropriate, resists care. Section F.2. Psychosocial Well-being For example, covert/open conflict or repeated criticism of staff, unhappy with roommate, unhappy with other residents.
Slide 34-

MDS and Regulatory Requirements, cont. Section I.1. Disease Diagnoses For example, deep vein thrombosis, arthritis, hip fracture, missing limb, osteoporosis, pathological bone fracture, cancer. Section I.2. Infections For example, wound infection Section J.2. Pain Symptoms
Slide 35-

MDS and Regulatory Requirements, cont. Section K. Oral/nutritional status For example, mouth pain. Section L. Oral/Dental Status For example, inflamed, swollen, bleeding gums, abscesses, ulcers or rashes. Section M. Skin conditions For example, skin ulcers, abrasions, bruises, rashes, skin tears, cuts, surgical wounds, skin treatments; foot problems.
Slide 36-

MDS and Regulatory Requirements, cont. State Licensure 19 CSR 30-85.042 (67) Requires the facility to address the resident’s pain: “Each resident shall receive personal attention and nursing care in accordance with his/her condition and consistent with current acceptable nursing practice.”
Slide 37-

MDS and Regulatory Requirements, cont. Federal Regulation 42 CFR Section 483.20 (b), F272 Requires facility to make a comprehensive assessment: “A facility must make a comprehensive assessment of resident’s needs, using the RAI specified by the state.”
Slide 38-

MDS and Regulatory Requirements, cont. 42 CFR 483.20 (k) F279 Requires facility staff to develop a comprehensive care plan to address pain: “The facility must develop a comprehensive care plan for each resident that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet a resident’s medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive assessment.”
Slide 39-

MDS and Regulatory Requirements, cont. 42 CFR Section 483.25, F309 Requires facility staff to meet the pain needs of the resident: “Each resident must receive and the facility must provide the necessary care and services to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being, in accordance with the comprehensive assessment and plan of care.”
