Who is the Assessing Pain in Children poster for?
Assessing Pain in Children belongs to the Nursing section rather than to a school year, because life science is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning maternal & child can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Assessing Pain in Children poster?
Below the age of self-report, you are reading behaviour and the parent. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Assessing Pain in Children belongs on the wall where that life science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with Assessing Pain in Children?
