Resumen	The Nine Equivalents of Nursing Manpower Use Score (NEMS) is a validated assessment instrument specifically designed to quantify nursing workload in intensive care unit (ICU) settings. Developed by Miranda, Moreno, and Iapichino, NEMS measures the intensity of nursing care required based on therapeutic interventions and patient monitoring activities. Unlike severity of illness scores that focus on mortality risk, NEMS directly measures the nursing effort expended, making it particularly useful for ICU staffing decisions and workload documentation.	The Early Warning Score (EWS), most commonly known as the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) in the UK, is a standardized tool for identifying acutely unwell patients at risk of deterioration. Developed by the Royal College of Physicians and validated through research by Smith, Prytherch, and colleagues, NEWS combines vital sign measurements and supplemental oxygen use to generate a composite score. High NEWS scores trigger escalated care responses, enabling early intervention before critical illness develops.
