Synopsis:
Part of the "What Do I Do Now?" series, Pain provides thought provoking, real-world cases to illustrate concepts, approaches to therapy, and potential barriers to optimal care presented by a diverse panel of interdisciplinary authors. Pain is a frequent and distressing symptom encountered by those with serious or life-limiting illness and may present in a multitude of fashions and from a wide array of etiologies. Pharmacologic, nonpharmacologic, and ethical principles of pain control are intertwined within case-based discussions. The volume is also a self-assessment tool that tests the reader's ability to answer the question, "What do I do now?"
