Maize (Zea mays L.) was established between rows of seven-year-old silver maple (Acer saccharinum L.) trees in north-central Missouri, USA with four imposed treatments: (1) an unmodified control with a standard

Nursing staff consulted the clinical nurse specialist regarding a patient they assessed who was not medicated appropriately and experienced significant procedural pain. As a result, a Procedural Pain Task Force was created to research the incidence of procedural pain and create evidence-based practice protocols. A convenience sample of 358 patients undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic invasive procedures (surgery excluded) was studied. Variables for analysis included demographic data, procedure type, medication, and perceived pain before, during, and after the procedures. Patients who were not premedicated had lower mean pain scores (mean, 1.81) than patients who did receive medication before a potentially painful procedure (mean, 3.64). Age was negatively correlated with perceived pain; thus, the greater the patient age, the lower the pain score. Sex, premedication, and type of procedure were positively correlated with perceived pain scores. Sixty-three subjects reporting pain scores of 5 or greater during a procedure were further evaluated. Results were used to develop procedural pain guidelines and a physician order set as well as a medication reference grid to assist clinicians in the management of procedural pain. Furthermore, nurses were empowered by the revised guidelines to advocate for relief of pain based on the nursing assessment.
