Feedback:
Comfort is defined as a sense of physical, emotional, social, and spiritual peace and well-being. This may include, but is not limited to, considerations of patient reports of pain. It does not exclude consideration of physical pain. It is debatable if pain is a transcendent emotion and spiritual state.
