สรุป	The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) is a simple, widely used tool for assessing subjective pain intensity in patients. Patients rate their pain on a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain imaginable. The NRS is one of the most frequently used pain assessment instruments in clinical practice due to its brevity, ease of administration, and strong psychometric properties across diverse patient populations.	Nursing-Sensitive Indicators are quality metrics that measure healthcare outcomes significantly influenced by nursing care. Developed by the American Nurses Association (ANA) and maintained through the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI), these indicators assess hospital-acquired complications, staffing levels, nurse-sensitive outcomes, and other dimensions of care quality. They serve as benchmarking tools for evaluating nursing practice effectiveness and organizational performance.
