3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars 27 ratings

Pain: Clinical Manual advocates an interdiciplinary approach to the care of patients with often under-treated pain. This book makes the application to scientific knowledge to the development of practical tools and guidelines for the care of patients in all clinical settings and all age groups.

* Provides ready-to-use forms and recommendations for pain care committees to assist health care facilities to prepare for JCAHO inspections. * Includes two FREE pocket-size, laminated cards: equianalgesic charts to assist clinicians with dose calculations when changing routes of administration or analgesics, and dosing guides to commonly used adjuvants and nonopioids. * Includes FREE access to Mosby's PAIN WEBSITE. * The most clinically useful book ever published on pain, written by authorities who helped establish the pain management movement. * Includes 11 new chapters and five expanded and updated chapters to provide the most accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensive pain management information. * Includes icons to alert the reader to important, need-to-know information, such as pediatric content, patient examples, and reproducible material. * Features over 200 boxes and tables to help quickly locate key information and apply complex concepts at the bedside. * Presents a unique, multidisciplinary perspective. * Provides ready-to-use, practical, proven, and reproducible tools, pain assessment and documentation forms, and guides to analgesic use. * Contains patient information handouts on analgesics and nondrug methods of pain relief to educate the patient/family/caregiver about the patient's specific pain management. * Includes reproducible key policies, procedures, and protocols to assist the clinician in implementing patient focused interdisciplinary pain management. * Presents pharmacology content in four chapters - the three analgesic groups and an overview of how to combine them - to provide a readily understandable reference and practical resource. * Includes quick guides with illustrations of selected pain problems, such as pain related to sickle cell disease, peripheral neuropathy, and fibromyalgia. * Contains pain rating scales in over 20 languages to enhance patient/clinician communication in culturally diverse populations.

GREAT BOOK! I purchased this book for school, and I heard they are releasing a new edit. I have had some thought of purchasing the new one just have it on hand....I believe it would have more current up to date info! I have learned TONS from this book. It is BIG and sort of intimidating....but once I really read and sorted through the information I learned how much I truly loved this book, the information in it, and the authors!! I also LOVED my pain class!

"PAIN: Clinical Manual" 2nd edition, is a book that should be thoroughly read (and used) by health care providers who deal with pain patients. This book addresses many myths and misconceptions surrounding pain, and explains the mechanisms of pain. It supplies pain management techniques, both medicinal and non-medicinal. The text and charts are comprehensive and clear. I appreciate the permissions for use of the charts, and will be using them for pain assessment in clincial studies. Education in pain assessment and management is generally lacking in medical education. This book supplies much of that needed knowledge. My thanks to the authors.

Absolutely the most complete and best resource for pain management. A must for any clinician interested in pain management. McCaffery is a recognized and respected nursing expert in pain management and shares her knowledge and expertise in this manual with concise information and many reproducible materials that can be used in clinical practice. As a nurse educator and hospice nurse, this manual is my bible for teaching about pain management and managing pain in my patients.
