The oncology team would be the only health-care providers to prescribe pain medication to the patient.

The patient’s mother would dispense his pain medication and monitor his use outside of the hospital setting.

His mental health-care needs were met by ensuring that he continued to work with the outpatient substance abuse counselors as well as the oncology social worker to address the risk of substance abuse relapse during the course of his illness and strategies for coping with stress. Effective psychosocial models utilized with this patient included cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. Complementary modalities of managing pain such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, and yoga were also used. Throughout his treatment, the oncology team assessed the patient’s pain with a focus on any potential drug-seeking behaviors.
