Muhtasari	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 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.
