The experts standard of pain management in nursing care regulates the measurement and recording of pain, medicational and non-medicational measures for the treatment and prevention of pain, the treatment of potential side effects of analgesics, and the counseling and training of nursing personnel. As such, it impacts on earlier shortcomings of interprofessional pain management, provides for therapeutic certainty, and improves the situation of those requiring permanent nursing care.
