To reduce pain, the GENESIS program:
- Offers back rubs
- Helps patients practice deep breathing
- Provides warm soaks or ice packs
- Repositions the patient
- Uses music therapy
- Provides low, appropriate dosages of pain medication, if necessary
- Uses pain medications with the lowest side effect profile
- Educates nurses on how to assess pain in patients with delirium or dementia
