Nausea Scales and Assessments

Nausea scales and assessments are tools healthcare professionals use to measure and understand the severity of a person's nausea. They often involve the patient rating their nausea on a scale (e.g., 0 to 10), describing how bad it feels, or noting frequency and duration. These assessments help doctors track changes over time, evaluate treatment effectiveness, and decide on appropriate interventions. They provide a standardized way to communicate about nausea, ensuring that the patient's experience is accurately captured and managed effectively.
