Wong-barker faces pain rating scale score

Wong-barker faces pain rating scale score will be measured every 8 hours. The Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale is a tool that uses a combination of faces, numbers, and words to help a person effectively communicate the severity of their physical pain. The scale starts at 0 and ends at 10, with the numbers increasing in intervals of 2. Each number relates to both a face and a small descriptive phrase. It is flexible because if someone uses the numbers, they may not need the faces or the wording. The phrase relating to each numerical value is as follows: 0: no hurt or pain, 2: it hurts a little bit,4: it hurts a little more ,6: it hurts even more,8: it hurts a whole lot 10: it hurts the worst
