The ASA physical status classification system is a system for assessing the fitness of patients before surgery. In 1963 the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) adopted the five-category physical status classification system; a sixth category was later added.

The CAPS distinguishes itself from other PTSD assessments in that it can ...
[3] [2] According to the Fast Facts for the Triage Nurse handbook, the ESI algorithm is primarily used in the United States. [2] As of 2019, 94% of United States EDs use the ESI algorithm in triage. [1] The concept of a "resource" in ESI means types of interventions or diagnostic tools, above and beyond physical examination.
The YMRS is more well-known and widely used, but because it was written in 1978, it does not include all of the symptoms of mania from ICD-9 or ICD-10 (nor DSM-IV or DSM-5), as it predated them all. The YMRS was also designed for completion by nurses at the end of their eight-hour shift on an inpatient unit, observing adult patients.
PTSD Symptom Scale – Self-Report Version (PSS-SR) is a 17-item self-reported questionnaire to assess symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder. [1] Each of the 17 items describe PTSD symptoms which respondents rate in terms of their frequency or severity using a Likert-type scale ranging from 0 (not at all or only one time) to 3 (almost always or five or more times per week).
In one study, 86% of emergency room nurses met the criteria for compassion fatigue. [37] In another study, more than 25% of ambulance paramedics were identified as having severe ranges of post-traumatic symptoms. [28] In addition, 34% of hospice nurses in another study met the criteria for secondary traumatic stress/compassion fatigue. [28]
The IES-R yields a total score (ranging from 0 to 88) and subscale scores can also be calculated for the Intrusion, Avoidance, and Hyperarousal subscales. The authors recommend using means instead of raw sums for each of these subscale scores to allow comparison with scores from the Symptom Checklist 90 - Revised (SCL-90-R; Derogatis, 1994).
