सारांश	The Care Dependency Scale (CDS) is a comprehensive assessment tool that measures the degree of care dependency in patients by evaluating their ability to perform activities of daily living and manage their health conditions independently. Developed by Atie Dijkstra and colleagues, the CDS focuses on physical independence and social engagement, providing a quantitative measure of nursing workload and care requirements. It is particularly useful in long-term care, rehabilitation, and geriatric settings.	The Norton Scale is a pioneering risk assessment tool developed by Doreen Norton and colleagues in 1962 to identify hospitalized patients at risk of developing pressure sores. As one of the earliest standardized pressure ulcer risk assessment instruments, the Norton Scale predates and influenced many later tools including the widely used Braden Scale. It remains relevant in clinical practice, particularly in geriatric and long-term care settings.
