Case – Jeannette Bright
You come across some scientific literature while researching how to help the patient. You believe these articles will help you to further understand pain and how to help older patients who may have cognitive problems as well. Many patients you will encounter experience pain.
The first step to helping them is to educate yourself about the components of pain and why we feel it. You may wonder why many of the articles about pain have a qualitative design rather than a quantitative design. This encourages you to do some research on the principles of qualitative studies.
