title: Drugs used for pain relief in palliative care.
abstract: Nurses have a vital role in assessing, monitoring and evaluating pain. Pain control should be based on a logical step-by-step approach. Morphine is not a panacea; adjuvant drugs are often required. While drug therapy is an important aspect of pain control, management must encompass an holistic approach.
