to cost the economy $61.2 billion per year (Goertz, 2006). The Agency for Health Care Policy and Researchs Clinical Practice Guidelines on Acute Pain Management indicates that "managing pain and
relieving suffering is an ethical obligation" that constitutes a foundational tenet of healthcare practitioners commitment to their patients (Goertz, 2006, p. 1010). As this indicates, pain management is a priority
in patient care, yet, despite innovations in technology and improved treatment modalities, pain management remains a problem for healthcare practitioners. Pain management is estimated to account for a greater annual
economic cost than treatment for any other chronic condition (Stanton, et al, 2007). Nurses play a key role in both evaluating pain and initiating interventions (Hader and Guy, 2004).
The goal of this concept analysis is to aid nurses in recognizing and treating pain in a timely fashion, as nursing intervention for pain management can aid in averting complications
(Hader and Guy, 2004). Review of Literature As pain is a subjective phenomenon, it is an "individualized, complex experience" that is influenced by "psychological, physical, emotional and cultural

with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage" (Hader and Guy, 2004, p. 21). When tissue cells are damaged, they release chemicals that create impulse
