2 Form 1: Modified Resident s Verbal Pain Inventory (M-RVBPI) (continued) Scoring the M-RVBPI Items 2c, 4, 5, and 6 assess the intensity of pain as reported by the resident. These items are best used to obtain a picture of the level of the resident s pain experience that can be summarised in the Pain Intensity Summary. Pain Intensity Summary Item Pain Feature 1. Pain initially recalled in past 24 hours 2c. Pain on movement Pain Mild Moderate Severe 4. Pain worst in past 24 hours Pain Mild Moderate Severe 5. Pain least in past 24 hours Pain Mild Moderate Severe 6. Pain now Pain Mild Moderate Severe Responses to items 7, 8 and 9 can be scored using the scale of 0 (no pain) to 3 (severe pain) and these scores can be summed to give an overall score for pain interference. This score can be documented in the Pain Interference Summary. Pain Interference Summary Item Area of interference Circle and transfer score to total. 7. Walking 0 Pain 1 Mild 2 Moderate 3 Severe t Applicable Recommended Uses of Scores Obviously, responses for pain intensity and scores for pain interference can be used for comparison purposes. This is especially important when trialling an intervention to reduce pain. However, responses and scores should also serve to alert staff to the need to implement such an intervention. Some key principles are that: Pain of moderate or severe intensity that cannot be controlled by existing measures needs urgent review. Scores of 6 and over for pain interference, or four and over when the resident cannot walk, also mean that urgent review is required. Pain of any level of intensity that recurs, lasts for long periods, and/or causes interference with walking, general activity, or interactions must prompt the implementation or review of pain management strategies. 8.

3 Form 2: Abbey Pain Scale For measurement of pain in people with dementia who cannot verbalise.
