Resumo

Regardless of the setting in which they work, nurses are responsible for the assessment and management of clients with pain. Pain is a key consideration in all patient care, and nurses play a critical role in pain management. Indeed, throughout history nurses have made important contributions to our understanding and management of pain through research and clinical practice. This chapter aims to provide an introduction to some key concepts in pain management and to encourage you to reflect on some of your own assumptions about pain.
