Lying quietly, normal position. Lying quietly, no positioning of hands over areas of body. Stable vital signs

The scale designed by Odhner had five dimensions: face, activity, guarding, physiological I (including blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate), and physiological II (including dilation of pupils, diaphoretic, flushing, or pallor).(Topolovec-Vranic J, 2013)

and the Adult Nonverbal Pain Scale (NVPS) was developed. The NVPS is a 10-point scale with 5 categories that are scored on a 0-, 1-, or 2-point system. The original categories for the NVPS were based on the FLACC and included face (expression/gri-macing), activity, guarding, physiol-ogy I, and physiology II.1 A study was conducted to determine ...

Identifying the most appropriate behavioral based pain assessment tools for use in non-communicative patients in any palliative care setting significantly enhances the likelihood of effective pain management and improved pain-related outcomes5.

Use this scale with: Adults with cognitive, behavioral or communication deficits who are unable to validate the presence of or quantify the severity of pain using either the Numeric Rating Scale or the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale. Instructions: 1. Score each column separately. 2. Score 0 if the behavior was not observed. 3.

The NVPS - revised is based on observations, with zero to two points assigned for each of the five areas. Patients who are awake : Observe for at least 1-3 minutes. Patients who are asleep : Observe for at least 5 minutes or longer. Observe legs and body uncovered. Reposition patient or observe activity. Assess body for rigidity and tone.
