TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Pain Management A1 - Kullgren, Justin A2 - Sutton, S. Scott PY - 2019 T2 - McGraw-Hill's NAPLEX® Review Guide, 3e AB - Pain is an unpleasant sensation that negatively affects a person’s life, including comfort, sleep, emotion, and daily activity. Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage. Additionally, pain is always subjective. Because pain is a variable and personal experience, it is difficult to describe and measure objectively. The clinician must guard against personal biases, which can interfere with treatment. One must also rely on tools such as pain scales to communicate with patients and understand the extent of their pain.
