A)The Objective Opiate Withdrawal Scale (OOWS)has the nurse rate 13 common, physically observable signs of opiate withdrawal as being either absent or present. The Subjective Opiate Withdrawal Scale (SOWS)asks the client to rate 16 symptoms on a scale of 0 (not at all)to 4 (extremely). In either case, the summed total score can be used to assess the intensity of opiate withdrawal and determine the extent of a client's physical dependence on opioids. Higher scores mean a more intense withdrawal and more physical dependence.
