ABSTRACT
Managing postsurgical pain continues to be one of the nation's top clinical care priorities and concerns. Despite widely publicized national care guidelines, effective pain management for all patients is not a reality. This study explored how nurses in a community hospital documented the process of pain management for a group of postsurgical patients. The results have implications for all adult health nurses.
