Face 0 is very happy because he doesn’t hurt at all. Face 1 hurts just a little bit. Face 2 hurts a little more. Face 3 hurts even more. Face 4 hurts a whole lot. Face 5 hurts as much as you can image, although you don’t have to be crying to feel this bad. Ask the person to choose the face that best describes how he is feeling.  \nRating scale is recommended for persons age 3 years and older.  \nBrief word instructions: Point to each face using the words to describe the pain intensity. Ask the child to choose face that best describes own pain and record the appropriate number.  \nFrom Wong DL , Hockenberry-Eaton M, Wilson D, Winkelstein ML, Schwartz P: Wong’s Essentials of Pediatric Nursing, 6/e, St. Louis, 2001, P. 1301.  \nCopyrighted by Mosby, Inc.

Pain can feel sharp, hot, cold, dull, and achy. Some pains may feel like they are very superficial (at skin-level), or they may feel like they are from deep inside your body. Pain can be described as unpleasant and also can have different time qualities.  \nThe Pain Quality Assessment Scale helps us measure these and other different aspects of your pain. For one patient, a pain might feel extremely hot and burning, but not at all dull, while another patient may not experience any burning pain, but feel like their pain is very dull and achy. Therefore, we expect you to rate very high on some of the scales below and very low on others.  \nPlease use the 20 rating scales below to rate how much of each different pain quality and type you may or may not have felt  \nOVER THE PAST WEEK, ON AVERAGE.  \n\n| 1. Please use the scale below to tell us how intense your pain has been over the past week, on average.\u003Cbr>No The most intense\u003Cbr>pain 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 pain sensation\u003Cbr>imaginable\u003Cbr>|\n| --- |\n| 2. Please use the scale below to tell us how sharp your pain has felt over the past week.
