In concordance with the scientific tradition of standardized quantification, the medical profession has devised the pain scale. But first, let us have some samples.
This is the one on the nursing flow sheets I see. I think that guy seems a little too happy with hurting just a little bit. Number 8 is what I look like after a nurse yells at me. Number 10 -- the attending.
A stupid page to D/C a Boost drink order can easily tip me over two points.
Here is a one for infants. And look how cute they use decimals. I feel 0.46% today!
Ever stop to think if patients really in pain can't figure the scale out without the pictures?
