There are 9 million enrollees in the Department of Veterans Affairs health care system. It wants doctors and nurses to treat pain as a “fifth vital sign” to be recorded along with blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and breathing rate. If you were to aid the VA in this situation, how would you measure a patient’s pain? How could this “fifth vital sign” be a potentially invalid measure? Answer each question with at least one paragraph of three complete sentences.
