- OPQRST Pain Assessment (Nursing)
The OPQRST nursing pain assessment is super important for you to know as a nursing student. You'll need to learn how to assess pain in order to keep your patients comfortable, and also to figure out what might be going on in their body, because pain can tell you a lot about a patients condition.
So, you might be thinking, what the heck does OPQRST even mean?
OPQRST is a handy dandy mnemonic for assessing pain.
It stands for:
O: Onset
P: Provocation or Palliation
Q: Quality
R: Region or Radiation
S: Severity
T: Timing
And there are some key questions you'll need to ask for each of these categories:
O: Onset:
What were you doing when the pain started?
Did the pain happen suddenly, or had it been coming on for a while?
P: Provocation or Palliation
What makes the pain worse?
What makes the pain better?
Q: Quality
Can you describe the pain for me?
R: Region or Radiation
Where is the pain located?
Is it spreading or extending to another area?
S: Severity
On a scale of 0-10, with 0 being no pain at all, and 10 being the worst possible pain imaginable, where is your pain level at right now?
T: Timing
What were you doing when the pain started?
Is the pain always there or does it come and go?
Is there anything different about the pain than when it started?
Has this pain ever happened before?
The OPQRST mnemonic can be super handy when you're at your nursing school clinicals, or when you need to remember it during lecture class or skills lab.
And of course, we've got a free cheat sheet for you to print off so that you can remember all of these questions to ask for the OPQRST pain assessment: bit.ly/nursings...

Islam
The Complete Religion
A-The Islamic Creed and Beliefs
Islam is the path to pleasing God and for salvation in the next life, for Islam is the clear
and final message that God conveyed to humanity.
1-Islam is to believe in One Lord: Allah the Most High, the Living, the Most Great, the most Merciful. Allah has no equals and nothing is like Him. Allah was not birthed and did not birth, and the entire world is under His power and dominion.
2-Islam is to believe in the existence of Angels, peace be with them.
3-Islam is to believe in all the Messengers and Prophets like Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, peace be with them.
4-Islam is to believe in all the divinely-inspired books that these Messengers and Prophets received. The Qur’an is Islam’s eternal miracle which God promised to preserve. As a result of that, all Muslims, young and old, read the same Qur’anic text worldwide, without the slightest variation even in a single letter.
5-Islam is to believe in the Last Day, when people will be brought back to life.
6-Islam is also to believe that all the good and bad that come is part of what Allah has destined.
B-Islamic Practice
Islam calls for the best in actions and deeds, reflecting the fulfillment of complete servitude and obedience to God and the refinement of human nature.
1-You accept Islam by saying the testimony: I bear witness that there is no one worthy of worship except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and messenger.
2-You perform five daily prayers, with the necessary physical cleanliness and ablution.
3-You pay the annual Zakah, which is a small charity given to the poor and needy.
4-You fast the days of the month of Ramadan every year.
5-And if you are able to, you travel on pilgrimage to Makkah once in your life time.
C-Principles that Islam Establishes
1-Islam and the Liberation of the Mind
True belief in God is consistent with reason, while also inconsistent with polytheistic beliefs and the worshipping of idols, statues, the stars, and the devils and all that is connected to them such as witchcraft, fortune-telling, and other harmful acts. And though the Qur’an is a book of guidance, it also contains miraculous insights and information about the universe, astronomy, embryology, mountains, and various other creations. Islam opened the doors wide for scientific advancement and the Arabs moved soon after accepting Islam to create the biggest and leading civilization in the world. They only retreated from such advanced positions when they let go of much of their religion.
2-Islam and Human Advancement
Islam commands the preservation of the five human essentials: religion, life, the mind, honor, and wealth. With these protected, the Muslim can live a peaceful life, working for this life and the one to come after death, and the Muslim community lives like a solid block, connected and supportive of its members. This can only happen when these five essentials are protected from harm. Islam also promoted advancements in several aspects of human life. There is no difference between people of different races and colors except though piety. Islam even called for the good treatment of non-Muslims whoever they may be, for there is reward in the good that we do to any living being. Islam also calls on us to be merciful with the weak and kind to women, children, and the elderly. As for women, Islam gave them their complete rights, including the ownership of property and inheritance, and prohibited their ill-treatment. Women also keep their surnames after marriage in Islam. Islam also encouraged the freedom of slaves and combatted illegitimate slavery.
3-Islam is a Living Religion:
Islam is a living religion that promotes optimism and action and shuns pessimism and lethargy. Islam also establishes balance in human life and fulfills human desires while restraining their excesses. So while Islam forbids unrestrained sexual permissiveness it recommends marriage and family life. And when Islam forbids usury it opens the doors wide for charity and easy loans as well as commerce and trade. Islam also recommends athleticism like back horse riding and swimming.
You can verify all of this information by reviewing any accurate translation of the Qur’an.

Thanks for being here, Crzy Suit And Tie!
Can you explain what’s different in assessing pain for an Indonesian patient
All of our resources are geared towards nursing students in the United States because that is what we are most familiar with directly. BUT, we have heard from many international nursing students that both the Study System and the NursingSOS Membership Community are extremely helpful to them as well.
That being said, we always suggest that if there are any discrepancies (we haven't heard of any!) between what you are learning and what we have, you should check with your instructor to clarify exactly what you should be learning in your specific program.
COLDERRA pain assessment method is easy. I think
It's very similar!
thank you very much :)
You're so welcome, Arvin Manlapaz! Your support means the world to us! :)
