What is a mnemonic device for the stem aur?

It depends on if you're using "aur" to mean "ear" or to mean "gold." Here are a couple of helpful tips for you.

AUR = EAR

  • distinguish ear from eye by remembering that the "A" word goes with the word that has "A" in it ("eye" has no "A")
  • if you say "aur" out loud, it sounds a little bit like "ear"
  • remember "U hear with UR ear"
  • remember your vowels - AEIOU - Aur goes with Ear, which is the next vowel in line
AUR = GOLD
  • remember "Gold rings ARE (AUR) expensive (or pretty, or whatever you like)"

This mnemonic is specific to asking history about pain.

Radiation- Does the pain go anywhere, or radiate to other areas?

Severity- Rate the pain on a 1/10 scale, 10 being the worst pain you've ever felt

Time- When did it start? (May also want to ask what they were doing at that time)

What part of speech is mnemonic?

It is a noun and possibly an adjective. A mnemonic (noun form) is a memory aid. While it is redundant, you could refer to something as a mnemonic device. That would be using it as an adjective.

For instance, if you want to remember the notes on the bass clef, remember the sentence "Gold Buttons Dress Fine Actors." The first letters of each word are the music notes for each line.

Another example would be if you were making a speech and needed to remember your outline. One type of mnemonic would be to reduce each point into a single word. Then you take the first letter of each of those and either make them into a sentence using those words, or make those letters into a single word if you can.
