Chronic pain is a complex problem. Some specific strategies to deal with it include:
 
  1. Telling the patient to let pain be your guide to using treatment therapies
  2. Prescribing pain medication on a PRN basis to keep down the amount used
  3. Scheduling return visits on a regular basis rather than waiting for poor pain control to drive the need for an appointment
  4. All of the above

Question 2

  1. Pain at a tolerable level where the patient may return to activities of daily living
  2. Reduction of pain with a minimum of drug adverse effects
  3. Reduction or elimination of pain with minimum adverse reactions
  4. Adequate pain relief without constipation or nausea from the drugs
