Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on The Reliability of Nurses Observations on Pain Symptoms. It needs to be at least 3500 words.

During my final posting in a busy acute orthopaedic unit, I was diligently and dutifully carrying out my responsibilities when the emergency department staff wheeled in Mdm. Tan, a very frail and very depressed looking old lady. She was being admitted for bilateral knee pain and severe back pains. She also looked very sad and depressed and her expression showed that she was in an enormous amount of pain. She had no one accompanying her. I placed a reassuring hand on her arm and with a warm smile, I gathered all the information necessary for her assessment. She lost her husband in an accident about 30 years ago, and after that, she lived with her daughter who unfortunately passed away 3 years prior to admission after battling cancer. Since her daughter’s death, she had been living on her own. She is aware that her pains are attributed to her arthritis which she also knew to be degenerative in nature. She said that she already saw several doctors for her ailments. They gave her painkillers which did not seem to adequately relieve her symptoms. She stopped seeing doctors and she felt like she was old enough to die because she felt like there was no one to live for anymore. After performing my pain assessment on Mdm. Tan using the Numerical rating scale (pain rated from 0-10, with 0 meaning no pain and 10 indicating the most pain), Mdm. Tan rated her painful experience to be 7 out of 10. Such rating was immediately reported to the Staff Nurse in charge who then informed the duty doctor. Mdm. Tan was not reviewed until 3 hours after admission. When the doctor finally arrived and assessed Mdm.
