    Journal: Nurs Clin North Am; 2016 Sep; 51(3):433-47. PubMed ID: 27497017.
    Abstract:
    Pain is a common occurrence in individuals with serious illnesses. Effective pain management can be complicated when the individual has a comorbid substance use disorder. Comprehensive pain assessment includes opioid risk screening to provide safe and effective pain management. An appropriate, safe treatment plan includes the use of "universal precautions" commonly used in managing chronic pain.
