nursing myths - Answers - o The nurse is the best judge of a patients pain
o If pain is ignored, it will go away
o Patients shouldn't take any measures to relieve pain until its unbearable
o Most complaints of pain are merely psychological (e.g., "it's all in your
head"); only "real" pain manifests in obvious physical signs
o Patients taking pain meds will become addicted to the drug
o Patients with severe tissue damage will experience significant pain and
those with lesser damage will feel less pain
o Patients ask for pain medication when they need it
