SEEIUC HOW THE PAIN CAN BE MEASURED?

• Obtaining subjective information from the own patient, if conscious.

• To observe the patient behaviour, if he has pain he will behave in a rough way, even nervous or agitated, it’s also possible that he weeps or make gestures of pain.

• Nurses have to evaluate different sings like the increase of the cardiac rate, blood pressure or the respiratory rate; even with using biochemical determinations (glucose…), because the pain may be showed in this way. We have to take it into account for unconscious patients.
