Who Can Benefit from the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale?
The scale is particularly useful for: - Children: Young children may not have the vocabulary to describe their pain. - Elderly: Older adults, especially those with cognitive decline, may struggle to articulate their pain. - Non-verbal Patients: Patients with disabilities or those who are non-verbal can use the scale to express their pain level. - Culturally Diverse Patients: It minimizes language barriers and provides a universal method for pain assessment.
