Description:
The aims of the project were to: 1) describe the amount of time needed to score the patient using the Braden Scale, 2) determine inter-rater reliability of the Braden Scale, 3) determine criterion validity of the Braden Scale by comparing the results to the Modified Norton Scale, and to 4) determine criterion validity of the Braden Scale by comparing the results to the Norton Scale.
