Pain management
Pain is your body's way of
telling you something is wrong. Mercy Memorial is serious about making
you as comfortable as possible during your hospital stay.
It is normal to expect a certain amount
of pain following surgery; however, if pain does not subside with pain
medication, there may be a more serious problem.
Nurses trained to monitor pain At
Mercy Memorial, nurses are trained to assess and monitor a patient's
pain. All licensed nurses and clinical service managers complete a
pain management course and pass an annual competency
test. Your pain level is monitored
throughout your hospital stay and is recorded as a part of your medical
chart to be certain you are as comfortable as possible.
Improved treatments reduce pain With
today's new and improved pain medications, there is no reason for anyone
to tolerate severe pain.
