How Can Pain Be Assessed in Pediatric Patients?

Assessing pain in children involves both subjective and objective measures. Pain scales like the FLACC scale (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability) are useful for infants and non-verbal children. Older children can utilize the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale or Numeric Rating Scale. Observing physiological indicators such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure can also provide clues about the child's pain level.
