Abstract
The authors, both Doctors of Pharmacy, discuss the different levels of pain management in the elderly population. The dangers of side effects of both prescription and non-prescription medications must be considered when evaluating dosing for pain relief or pain prevention. Updated guidelines for patient involvement in pain management protocols in long-term care facilities are examined.
