FLACC Scale

The FLACC Scale is a tool healthcare providers use to assess pain in infants and young children who cannot communicate verbally. It evaluates five areas: Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability. Each area is scored from 0 to 2 based on specific behaviors, with higher scores indicating more pain. By totaling these scores, caregivers can determine the child's pain level and decide on appropriate care. It's a reliable way to understand discomfort in non-verbal children, ensuring they receive proper pain management.
