nurs 6501 Week 3 discussion question

Week 3

The neurological system affects all parts and functions of the body through nerve stimulation. Nerves also control the sensation and perception of pain. While pain can be described in a variety of ways, it is essentially labeled according to its duration and source. As an advanced practice nurse evaluating a patient, you need to consider the following questions: Does the pain quickly come and go, or is it persistent and ongoing? Does the pain arise at the source of injury or in another location? In this Discussion, you compare three common types of pain—acute, chronic, and referred.

To prepare:

·        Review this week’s media presentation on the neurological system, as well as Chapter 13 in the Huether and McCance text.

·        Identify the pathophysiology of acute, chronic, and referred pain. Consider the similarities and differences between these three types of pain.

·        Select two of the following patient factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how the factors you selected might impact the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and prescription of treatment for acute, chronic, and referred pain.

Post A 1 page paper APA format
