For ongoing care, the nurse should ensure that children and parents are provided with support and follow-up to the extent necessary to continue adequate pain management in the home. Parents should be given instructions on dosing, administration, frequency, expected outcomes, and expected level of relief. Provide them with the name and telephone number of a health care professional whom they can call if they have questions about pain management. The parents are not responsible for inserting an intravenous line.
