The ideology of the Penitentiary opened by the Quakers in Pennsylvania was to replace their systematic punishment from early colonial penal codes (Monteiro & Frost, 2017). The country was changing and advancing into the future as the Declaration of Independence had been adopted as well as British laws had been repealed by the Pennsylvania legislature, (Siegel & Bartollas, 2014).

During my time in clinicals on a pediatric 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…
