Interpreting FLACC scores involves understanding the range and what each score represents:
- 0-3: Mild or no pain. - 4-6: Moderate pain. - 7-10: Severe pain.
Nurses use these scores to determine the need for pain management interventions. For instance, a score of 7-10 might necessitate immediate pain relief measures, such as administering medication or using non-pharmacological interventions like repositioning or providing comfort measures.
