    AbstractThe epidural route of administration can be used safely for acute and chronic pain control. Although most frequently used in the obstetrical setting, the epidural route has been used more recently for pain control in general surgical and oncology patients. Nursing policies, physician order sets and nursing documentation provide a consistent approach to patients receiving epidural analgesia. Continuous quality improvement helps to assure patient satisfaction and program quality.
