disagree with me because of our differing definitions of the word. I believe perseverance is the will to continue through pain. To understand what perseverance means to me, it is necessary to define the word “pain.” For the purposes of the definition, I believe pain is anything causing discomfort (whether it be physical or mental), boredom, or suffering in any degree. The degree of pain being endured describes the severity of the level of perseverance. For example, a trivial case of…

unacceptable. Researchers should place and provide animals with best possible living condition in order to have a positive impact on the animals. Also Rollin’s (2012) study found the following: Attention not only to physical needs and control of physical pain, but also to accommodating animal “telos” in a manner that eliminates all forms of “negative mattering” for the animals and provides occasions for “positive mattering”—what we may call “animal happiness”—can go a long way toward making…

floor, I have participated in the discharge of patients and their parents. Pain management and comfort were two of the few topics that parents expressed concern about after discharge teaching. While the nurse attempted to address these issues, it felt as though the parents left the hospital without full confidence in how to manage their child’s pain. It became clear that parents needed further, specific discharge education on pain management when their children were prescribed at-home…

Ensure the heels are free from the surface of the bed by using a pillow under the calves to elevate the heels (Perry & Potter, 2014, 442).

Patient-related barriers to pain management Intro Pain is one of the most common symptoms of cancer, and one of the most challenging subjects for health professionals including Radiation Therapists to address when treating patients. It is important to recognise that pain is ‘an intensely personal experience with biological, psychological and social components’, which is entirely subjective to the person who experiences it. Despite the development of “novel analgesics and updated pain…

become a nurse and continue helping people through many different life problems. I feel I have become more conscientious to responding to people in pain because of my various traumatic childhood experiences. When people are in need I find myself coming to their side to help and assist them with whatever is affecting them. I can relate to others pain because I too have gone through many painful endeavours in life. I was born with a severe case of club feet. It is an ankle deformity that in…

After treatment options have been exhausted, there are not many options left for the terminally ill. Terminally ill may either receive aggressive treatment, palliative care, or pain control. However, there is no way of knowing how a terminally ill patient’s last days will be. Consequently, many terminally ill people suffer pain and agony. Every patient’s experience with a terminally illness is different. There is no case that is the same, which can make this a complicated…

tells the monster he is not but does not mention what exactly scares, that shows his conflict. The monster then warns saying, "You will be, before the end" (Ness 16). This quote hints Conor's pain of fear in the future. Conor does not seem able to handle his fear with anyone else and it causes him much pain inside. So when someone finally starts to bring him to his senses saying things as, "Son, stories don't always have happy endings" (Ness 144-145), it drives him insane. It gets him so…

Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) evaluates hospitals on their compliance of pain control of patients, in particular the emergency department. Many hospitals that I have worked at feel that they have to give the patient what they want for pain or will face the consequences of retribution from JCAHO. Patients are very aware of this standard that has been set so if they do not feel their pain was treated appropriately they threaten to call JCAHO to report noncompliance. This is…

The agony, the suffering, the painful knowledge of knowing you are going to die with excruciating pain, with no say in what happens to them, as you just watch your time run out. Assisted suicide grants someone the choice of a life or death decision in a more ethical way. Assisted suicide and suicide are two different things. Suicide is where an individual takes his/her life in a manner that is referred to as being inhumane such as hanging or a gunshot. Assisted suicide is where a professional…
