 Welcome to Nursing School. Explain in this video on the acronym, Old Cards for Pain Assessment. Now, this is a very easy acronym that you can remember. And as you know, we always need to assess our patient's pain. So, Old Cards stands for O onset. So when the pain start, L location, where is the patient located, D duration, and that is kind of redundant from onset, you might think. But this can also mean, is it continuous or intermittent? Or how long does the pain last when it comes? C is characteristics or characterizing factors, and that would be throbbing, sharp, achy, any kind of those pain descriptions. A is aggravated by, so what makes the pain worse? And R is relieved by, what makes the pain better? T stands for treatment tried. So what has the patient done to help relieve the symptoms? And then S, of course, severity on our zero to 10 scale. So this is a very nice and easy acronym that you can use for pain assessment. Check out the other video where I go over an example. And also watch the other video where I go over the OPQRST acronym for pain assessment, which is a little bit different, but similar in very many ways. So just figure out what acronym works best for you in the clinical setting. Thanks for watching.
