Remember that for children it often useful to substitute the terms “ouch” or “hurt” for the word “pain”. The numeric rating scale may be categorized into no pain (0), mild pain (1-3), moderate pain (4-6), and severe pain, (7-10). These categories have been used in the past to indicate whether an opioid is indicated.
