The FLACC (Faces, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability) is a pain assessment tool, that is used to assess pain in children aged 0-7 years old by observing their behaviour. The FLACC has five subscales that need to be addressed. The final score indicates whether the observed child suffers pain and 'how much'. The score is often combined with a NRS-score that is completed by the nurses on basis of clinical experience.

Hearing is the ability to observe sound, with the purpose of communicating with others, localizing the source of the sound and recognizing certain sounds. This pertains to observing the sound waves, and not processing the sounds in the brain. A hearing disorder can lead to things including communication problems.

Sight is the ability to observe lit objects, with the goal of orienting yourself on objects and people in a lit environment. This pertains to observing the light stimuli, and not processing them in the brain. A sight disorder can lead to things including orientation problems.

There are often multiple people or parties involved in the care for a patient with a disorder or disability, particularly in the event of home care. Their efforts enable the patient to function more or less independently. This includes not only caregivers, but also professional help such as that offered by home care organizations, nurses, aids and helpers. Current doctors and staff from the facility to which a patient is admitted do not fall under this concept.

An infusion is a device that slowly injects fluid into a blood vessel. The infusion has a number of components. The infusion contains: the (peripheral) cannula or the (central) catheter put into the patient peripherally or centrally; the administering system connected to the cannula/catheter allowing the administered fluid to run; the infusion bag containing the fluid. Multiple administering systems may be connected to one cannula/catheter. Furthermore, a central venous catheter may have multiple lumens. Arterial and epidural catheters also exist in addition to venous catheters.

Mobility describes the abilities and any limitations in all aspects of mobility, such as changing position, walking and moving forward, in some cases with the help of an aid.

The Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) is a (validated) diagnostic screening tool for determining the extent of a patient’s malnutrition. For this screening tool, every patient’s Body Mass Index (BMI) and weight loss percentage is calculated, after which the patient is assigned a disease factor. The MUST helps to recognize and treat malnutrition at an early stage.
