Abstract:
Circumcision is a painful procedure that may be performed on newborns. Pain management is provided through pharmacologic and nonpharmacological methods such as administration of anesthetics, analgesia, nutritive sucking, music, and touch during and post procedure. Pain scales may be used to assess physiologic and behavioral changes in the newborn as part of the pain management process. The role of the nurse includes assisting the provider with pain management, assessing newborn pain, and teaching the family how to care and comfort the newborn post circumcision.
