Subjective vs. Objective Pain Assessment

1) The patient, Ron Brown, a 71-year-old man with type 1 diabetes, reported a pain level of 6/10 in his right foot heel where he had an ulcer. On examination, the ulcer had moderate drainage with pus and the patient limped when walking. 2) The nurse relieved the patient's pain by administering Tylenol #3, and changed the dressing. The pain level reduced to 1/10 after medication. 3) The second scenario describes an 89-year-old postoperative patient, Ada Green, who reported pain and difficulty breathing. Her vital signs and dressings were assessed, pain medication was instructed, and breathing techniques encouraged. The patient later reported pain relief
