Managing Pain

Academics / Global Campus / Professional Development / Managing Pain

Pain management is the aspect of healthcare involving the relief of pain using medications and non-pharmacological interventions. Through this course developed by a nursing professor at Calvin, learners will be able to compare different types of pain medications, describe current evidence for cannabis use to manage pain, identify evidence based non-pharmacological pain management strategies, and explain how labeling a patient as a “drug seeker” is stigmatizing.

• This course satisfies 1 contact hour of continuing education for Michigan nurses.
