In last month's issue of Home Healthcare Nurse, the article "Functional Assessment of the Home Health Client" described the value of performing functional assessment in relation to OASIS and methods to use in assessing a client's ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). Although many different instruments are used to measure functional ability, this article will describe three of the commonly used instruments for measuring functional ability: the Barthel Index, the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), and PULSES have been tested for reliability and validity. The WeeFIM will also be discussed.
在上个月的《家庭健康护理护士》期刊中，《家庭健康客户的功能评估》一文描述了与OASIS相关的功能评估的价值以及用于评估客户进行日常生活活动（ADL）和工具性日常生活活动（IADL）能力的方法。尽管有许多不同的工具用于测量功能能力，但本文将介绍三种常用的功能能力测量工具：巴氏指数、功能独立性测量（FIM）和PULSES，它们都经过了可靠性和有效性测试。此外，还将讨论小儿功能独立性测量（WeeFIM）。
