Abstract
Racial and socioeconomic disparities, exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic and surrounding socio-political polarization, affect access to, delivery of, and patient perception of healthcare. Perioperatively, the bedside nurse carries the greatest responsibility of direct care, which includes pain reassessment, a metric tracked for compliance.
