Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The FACES scale is a visual assessment tool that presents pictures of faces with varying intensities of emotional expressions. This is a reliable and valid assessment tool that has been widely used to assess pain intensity in children. The child can choose the face that matches their pain intensity level, making it an easy assessment tool for young children to use. The other assessments listed are not image-based and may be more difficult for a child to understand or communicate their pain levels accurately.
