PCA (Patient-Controlled Analgesia) care for a conscious patient should be preceded by a thorough assessment of the patient's pain levels, medical history, and understanding of the PCA system. The patient should be educated about how to use the PCA device, including how and when to administer medication safely. Additionally, monitoring for potential side effects and ensuring the patient has no contraindications for PCA use is essential before initiation.

Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is a method of pain management that allows patients to self-administer pain medication at controlled intervals through a programmable pump. The patient can press a button to deliver a prescribed dose of medication, usually opioids, when they experience pain. PCA provides better pain control, reduces the need for repeated injections, and allows patients to participate in their pain management.

To administer sustained-release medication, first verify the prescription and patient identification. Ensure the patient understands not to crush or chew the medication, as this can alter the release mechanism. Administer the medication at the prescribed intervals, typically with a full glass of water, and monitor the patient for any side effects. Always document the administration and any observations in the patient's medical record.
