title: The nurse's role in pain relief.
abstract: Despite advances in the management of pain, undertreatment of pain continues to be a common problem in medical-surgical patients. Nurses are encouraged to learn more effective ways to control patients' pain and to accept accountability for pain control. To be effective patient advocates, nurses must be "pain" advocates.
