Feline Pain Management

Pain Assessment is important because it

Helps to recognise pain

Makes it look like we care

Helps evaluate analgesia effectiveness

Tells us when we can stop giving pain relief

Unidimensional pain scales evaluate

The intensity and emotional aspects of pain

The intensity of pain only

Happiness

Sadness

A pain scoring system helps

Quantify pain

Increase objectivity of pain scoring

Helps with analgesia treatment

All of the above

The Glasgow CMPS-Feline Pain Scale is

A multidimensional pain scale

A unidimensional pain scale

Not a pain scale at all

None of the above

Multimodal analgesia

Shouldn’t be used because it uses too many drugs

Is the use of a combination analgesic drugs with different modes of action

Would not include the use of local anaesthetics

Is not a good idea

Pain management strategies include

Pre-emptive analgesia

Multimodal analgesia

Non-pharmacological strategies

All of the above

Local anaesthetics

Modulate pain transmission

Reduces inflammation

Do nothing

Prevents pain transmission

A pain scale intervention level is

A score at, or above which no analgesia is required

A score at, or above which analgesia should be considered

A meaningless number

None of the above

A possible reason for cats receiving less analgesia include

Fear of side effects from analgesic drugs

Lack of feline-specific pain assessment tools

Cats show more subtle pain behaviours

All of the above

Using a pain scale

Is a gold standard approach to pain assessment

Is a time consuming process

Can increase objectivity of pain soring

Will not improve patient welfare
