There are many aspects that affect the post surgical recovery of patients. However, a consistent variable among them is the issue of pain control. An important focus in post-op surgical patients is the effect of pharmacological and non-pharmacological intervention to pain on the postoperative recovery process in comparison to the preoperative condition. With the current rapid discharge rates, nurses have a small window of opportunity to make a significant difference in creating optimal conditions for the physical recovery of patients. The ("National Institute of Health", 2015) suggest however, that most healthcare professionals are not fully knowledgeable of pain concepts. An area according to a publication by the ("Institute of Medicine:

It continues to identify under what circumstances the pain rating scale should begin to include further interventions to pain, for example, pharmacological non-analgesic and Opioids. Continuing to define tools for non-pharmacological interventions such as: Therapeutic exercise, Manual therapy, Modalities, and the use of Occupational Therapy ("Department of Health and Human Services", 2011).
