Pediatric rating scales

[MasonCarbo]

Hello everyone!

I would like to talking about the pediatric rating scales used in our units.

In my unit we use principally two scales:

- Faces pain rating scale;

- Conley scale (for falling risk), used for patients with more of 14 years old.

I would like to know other rating scales to improve my job.

Which scales used in your unit?!

(I'm sorry for my bad english... )

We can't guarantee a parent at the bedside. But our hospital will provide a sitter if the right paperwork is filled out. And all of our inpatient beds are monitored. Even if it's just oximetry. We make extensive use of those line stabilizer gadgets too.
