Please list and elaborate on any specific questions about complimentary options for pain management that you have after briefly looking at the material I have offered you? 3. Can I define any terminology that you have about non-pharmacological pain management techniques, just make a list for me and we will talk about it tomorrow prior to discharge?

Proposed Grade

This internet assessment assignment deserves a grade of a, as the plan clearly responds tot the needs of the patient and caregiver with special attention to the willingness and aptitude of the patient herself to explore the topic, while still wishing to stay inside the confines of effective and evidence-based treatments. The comparison of materials to nursing text book as well as a text on evidence-based nursing practice is inclusive of the goal of the provision of effective continuing education and essential learning, as well as holistic nursing care.
