Pain Assessment Tools

Welcome to this video on assessment tools for pain. Assessment tools for pain are instruments that help you measure a patient’s degree of pain in addition to assessing patients’ conditions and needs. Some assessment tools for pain are observational, based on patients’ responses that can be seen, such as their expressions and body positions. Other tools are subjective and based on the patients’ own self-assessments of their pain, usually guided by some type of scale.
