Over 8 hours, nursing interventions like investigating pain characteristics, providing a firm mattress and massage, and encouraging position changes are aimed to help the patient incorporate relaxation skills and diversions into pain control. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics are also administered as prescribed to control pain/inflammation and prevent further infection respectively.
