Age range Invariant Approved
Details:
The Braden Q Scale was validated in pediatric patients 3 weeks to 8 years of age. The specific age of 21 postnatal days was selected because at 3 weeks of age the skin reaches relative maturity comparable to a full-term infant, regardless of the infant's gestational age at birth (Malloy & PerezWoods, 1991). The selection of 8 years of age reflected conventional norms; specifically, in 1994, the American Heart Association considered patients older than 8 years to be an adult in terms of treatment (Chameides & Hazinski, 1994)<br /></p><p>JPN 2011<br /></p><p>Using the Braden Q Scale to Predict Pressure Ulcer Risk in<br /></p><p>Pediatric Patients, Catherine Noonan RN, MS, CPNP, CWON<br /></p><p>a,, Sandy Quigley RN, CPNP, CWOCN, b, Martha A.Q.
