- The current evidence was insufficient to recommend any one pain assessment tool for individuals with leg ulcers
- A two-step pain assessment process might be useful in practice:
- The assessment should include a self-report related to the presence and level of pain
- In situations where pain is present, a more comprehensive assessment of the quality of the pain should be conducted
- For details regarding comprehensive pain assessment and management, refer to the RNAO nursing best practice guideline Assessment and Management of Pain.
