• Why? This is to ensure that you receive adequate pain relief and
experience minimal pain throughout your stay here.
• How?
• To monitor your pain level , you are expected to rate your pain level using
a scale of “0” to “10” . “0” for no pain , “10” for maximum pain.
• Rate your score according to how you feel is your pain level.
• Your pain score is important to us because the score will determine
whether we need to give you pain relieve medication.
