Nurses often do not practice at the extent of their scope as it relates to treating and addressing pain. The purpose of this project is to develop and implement a policy, education, and demonstration of using nitrous oxide for pain management with pediatric patients undergoing minor painful procedures. Findings from this quality improvement initiative indicate the policy development, education and demonstration of nitrous oxide use with pediatric nurses and pediatricians was effective, but nurses continued to experience hesitancy in using this pain modality. Follow up education and additional PDSA cycles are recommended to ensure patients' pain is mitigated and nurses are practicing to their full scope of practice. 000009087 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009087 650__ $$aEducation$$018215 000009087 650__ $$aNitrous Oxide$$022970 000009087 650__ $$aPain Management$$039572 000009087 650__ $$aQuality Improvement$$039456 000009087 650__ $$aDrug Therapy$$018086 000009087 6531_ $$adrug dosage and administration 000009087 6531_ $$atherapeutic drug use 000009087 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000009087 7001_ $$aGabriel, Marcus, Jr.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009087 8564_ $$9a3915c19-1e27-4634-afb1-1313553573b8$$s304019$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9087/files/Gabriel.Marcus.2021.pdf 000009087 905__ $$a/rest/prod/hx/11/xg/07/hx11xg073 000009087 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9087$$pstudent-work 000009087 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
