Also a note from the loved one of a tired nurse.
Please don't respond to
"Rate your pain on a scale of 1-10"
With anything higher than a 10. Some nurses will get it and not be mad. Some nurses suck and will write you off as being dramatic and it might impact care.
Related note, if you say you're at a 9 and they give you medicine that works, don't respond with 9 when they ask again. They're likely to start losing trust in you and might avoid giving more meds out of fear that you're drug seeking. Being honest when you're feeling better let's them know this is a med that can help.
The 1-10 scale is standardized as much as it can be for a subjective chart, but there are physical queues nurses are looking for. So if you say you're a 9/10 and then they find you acting completely normal, able to function with very little help, then they may think you're drug seeking.
Hopefully this info is helpful
