Patients with cancer can experience a variety of cancer and non-cancer-related pain problems. Medical-surgical nurses are in an ideal position to perform a comprehensive assessment of the cancer patient to determine if pain is a significant problem for the patient and what effect, if any, the pain is having on the patient's quality of life. The pain management plan is predicted on an accurate assessment and ongoing evaluation of the pain complaint as well as related symptoms.
癌症患者可能会经历各种与癌症及非癌症相关的疼痛问题。内科-外科护士处于对癌症患者进行全面评估的理想位置，以确定疼痛是否是患者的一个重要问题，以及疼痛对患者的生活质量产生了何种影响（若有影响的话）。疼痛管理计划基于对疼痛主诉以及相关症状的准确评估和持续评估。
