This is a great scale to use with cardiopulmonary patients. I refer to this scale frequently in my current setting in acute care, but it could also be used in a SNF or outpatient setting. I always ask patients to rate their level of difficulty with breathing at rest and with functional mobility/ADLs. This information is important to document and can also be used to show progress from day to day.
