AbstractOpioid analgesia is used more frequently in patients with chronic pain unresponsive to non-opioid therapy. The result is a growing number of individuals admitted to the hospital for acute pain (trauma or surgery) who are opioid-tolerant. Nursing strategies to improve pain intervention in this population are discussed.
