Pain assessment and treatment.

Discuss specifics regarding pain within the elder population: perception of pain, pain assessment scales, etc. In addition, provide evidence-based cited information relating to the opioid epidemic within your state and what percentage of addicted individuals are elderly. What type of resources are available in your community to help those with substance abuse problems? Are there any services specific to the elderly?

There are five key postulates in ‘liquid modernity’ which are based on interactions online, four of which relate to this current study. (1) A lack of morality, in this case, Rosica’s stalking behaviour is morally wrong. (2) To promote instantaneous gratification, in order for Rosica to continue the harassment of his ex-girlfriend and several others suggest that he was receiving some pleasure from it, hence why his repetitive behaviour continued. (3) Action not interaction is important, the action of his stalking behaviour was the problem, and the interaction had made the issue worse. (4) Aggression is easier on the web, as there is no emotion due to no physical embodiment; which can relate to many online cybercrimes. Everything is possible online because no physicality is required. The vulnerability and individualities can be concealed to play out identities, as shown in this case, although Rosica created a fake online identity to protect his identity and therefore, claiming his vulnerability against Katy Jones, “Jones was harassing both Rosica and his ex-girlfriend, Rosica claimed”. The self is rebuilt online, sometimes frequently, as we had discovered other claims about Rosica repeating the same behaviours, perhaps with several different identities for each victim? The STT applies better to the crime than liquid modernity theory, as all seven key postulates apply to cyberstalking. Whereas, in liquid modernity there is one key point that cannot be included to the crime which is ‘body become an object’. There is more evidence and detail to apply to STT for cyberstalking co

Perception of pain in the elderly population is often not taken seriously due to the assumption that it is a normal part of aging or that they are exaggerating their symptoms. An important tool for accurately assessing pain in elders is the Geriatric Pain Measure (GPM). The GPM assesses physical, psychosocial, and emotional response to pain and opens up communication between patient and provider about how the individual experiences their pain.
