Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale
Face 1 hurts just a little bit.
Face 2 hurts a little more.
Please note that each face is for a person who feels happy, because he has no pain (hurt) or sad because he has some or a lot of pain.
Face 0 is very happy because he doesn't hurt at all.
Face 3 hurts even more.
Face 4 hurts a whole lot.
Face 5 hurts as much as you can imagine, although you don't have to be crying to feel this bad.
Ask the person to choose the face that best describes how he is feeling.
