Pain Management Tool - A form nurses can use to communicate to prescribers about an individual's specific pain issues, including pain assessment, symptoms and treatment. When a copy is made for the medical chart, the form serves as documentation for charting purposes and can double as an order form when returned by the prescriber with new orders.
