What is the Risk Factor/ Subset of NUTRITION
100
Moves in bed and in chair independently and has sufficient muscle strength to lift up completely during move. Maintains good position in bed or chair at all times.
What is FRICTION & SHEAR score of 3 – NO APPARENT PROBLEM
200
Unresponsive (does not moan, flinch, or grasp) to painful stimuli, due to diminished level of consciousness or sedation, OR limited ability to feel pain over most of body surface.
What is SENSORY PERCEPTION score of 1. COMPLETELY LIMITED
200
Skin is usually dry. Linen only requires changing at routine intervals.
What is MOISTURE score of 4 - RARELY MOIST
200
Makes occasional slight changes in body or extremity position but unable to make frequent or significant changes independently.
What is MOBILITY score of 2 – VERY LIMITED
200
Eats over half of most meals. Eats a total of 4 services of protein each day. Occasionally will refuse a meal, but will usually take a supplement if offered. OR is on a tube feeding or TPN regimen which probably meets most of nutritional needs.
What is NUTRITION score of 3 – ADEQUATE
200
Requires moderate to maximum assistance in moving. Complete lifting without sliding against sheets is impossible. Frequently slides down in bed or chair, requiring frequent repositioning with maximum assistance. Spasticity, contractures or agitation leads to almost constant friction
What is FRICTION & SHEAR score of 1 – PROBLEM
300
Responds only to painful stimuli. Cannot communicate discomfort except by moaning or restlessness, OR has a sensory impairment which limits the ability to feel pain or discomfort over ½ of body
What is SENSORY PERCEPTION score of 2. VERY LIMITED
300
Skin is occasionally moist, requiring an extra linen change approximately once a day.
What is MOISTURE score of 3 – OCCASIONALLY MOIST
300
Makes major and frequent changes in position without assistance.
What is MOBILITY score of 4 – NO LIMITATIONS

300
Moves feebly or requires minimum assistance. During a move, skin probably slides to some extent against sheets, chair restraints, or other devices. Maintains relatively good position in chair or bed most of the time, but occasionally slides down.
