The Careful Works of a Licensed Practical Nurse

the-careful-works-of-a-licensed-practical-nurseEvery provider of Home Health Care in Stafford, Virginia, expects a nurse to provide their expertise to individuals in need. These nurses will be there to help individuals to regain back their health. One of the ways that a nurse helps is by managing the pain their patient experience.

Licensed Practical Nurse does four things: relate, assess, intervene, and advocate. For them, providing excellent pain management service is a way to offer elderly individuals palliative care. So, what are these four things? Here’s a short description from us:

  • Relate means their own knowledge and experience of pain and how it affects their life. Suppose they or someone they know experience the frustration of pain. In that case, they have more heart and compassion for patients experiencing that, too.
  • Assess means determining the pain the patient is experiencing. It relays on the nurse’s knowledge of pain experience, pain measuring tools, and pain relieving techniques such as pharmacological ones.
  • Intervene means applying what they’ve learned in school and training on the assessment results. This is where they can serve and provide the needed expertise to others.
  • Advocate means sharing knowledge on how to handle pain and others. Of course, nurses can’t be in whenever possible; thus, they share what they know with patients and loved ones.

The things mentioned above are just one reason we adore and love nurses. Healthcare providers here at ABSOLUTE HOME HEALTHCARE INC. cannot live without their expertise and kindness. So, we will always seek their advice.
