The Numerical Pain Scale is a useful tool when
assessing pain. It is based on a scale of 0-10.
A ladder starts from the ground and escalates to|
the highest point, so does pain start from 0-10.
It is important to do a pain assessment after pain
medication has been given. See image for more
information.
