Question 2
One of the primary goals in hospice care is pain control. In hospice nursing, pain is managed by
1. Encouraging the client to wait as long as possible between doses to allow more thorough action of the medication.
2. Encouraging regular doses of combinations of opioid, nonopioid, and adjuvant pain medication to build a wall against pain and prevent it from recurring before the next dose is given.
3. Permitting the client and the caregiver to give as much medication as desired, whenever needed.
4. Providing the smallest dose possible to avoid the possibly of creating an addiction.
