FOLLOW-UP NEEDED
If a resident reports pain during the initial screening interview, then further evaluation of pain intensity, location, quality and associated symptoms is needed to guide diagnosis and treatment decisions. Our pain interview includes items about presence, frequency, and effect of pain on residents' daily lives, but does not have enough specific items upon which to base diagnosis and treatment.
Elsewhere in this module--Next Steps, Links, FAQs, Related Studies--we provide guidance and referrals to other resources to help you accomplish the pain management steps that follow screening.
