How this Module Works
In this module, you will review the comprehensive
assessment of a patient with neuropathic pain and
formulate an initial treatment strategy. To accomplish
your task, you will progress through three phases:
 |
First,
you will assess the patient by reviewing
the history prior to the present pain complaint
and then the history of the present illness.
To guide your assessment, you will have access
to expert opinions concerning the patient
specifically, and didactic content relating
to pain assessment in general. |
|
Next,
you will formulate an initial treatment
strategy by selecting from a list of possible
treatments. As you make your formulation,
you will have access to expert opinions, commentary,
and descriptions of each treatment option
presented. |
|
Finally,
you will receive feedback on each of your
selected treatments. You will have the option
to revise and resubmit your treatment
plan, but the system does not require it. |
| Throughout
this module, health care professionals can
'consult' members of the Department of Pain
Medicine and Palliative Care, including physicians,
a psychologist, and a social worker.You will
need Windows
Media Player to view these video clips.
Please install this free plug-in before entering
this module. |
