Nursing Care Plan On Breast Cancer: Encourage Adequate Rest Periods

This nursing care plan addresses acute pain in a patient who recently underwent a mastectomy. The goal is to decrease the patient's pain level by the end of the nurse's shift through interventions like assessing pain characteristics, encouraging the patient to verbalize their feelings, administering analgesics as ordered, and encouraging rest. The rationale for each intervention is to evaluate the effectiveness of pain management and identify additional concerns.
