Problem Behaviors Rating Scale of Neppe and Loebel
Problem Behaviors Rating Scale of Neppe
and Loebel is a 33 item rating scale developed for
nurses and related professionals in a nursing geriatric,
neuropsychiatric or other inpatient environment. This
ranks patients behaviors over a defined period of
time, like a day or a week and can demonstrate change.
Each scale scores range from a normal of 0 to an extreme
of 3 producing a total of 99 making a range from 0
to 99 ( or 100 with 1 more for inpatients). These
criteria are based on unambiguous clinical mental
status features using the mnemonic ACCLAIMED covering
areas broadly translated under appearance, consciousness
and concentration, cognitive function, localization
of cortical pathology, affect, insight and judgement,
motivation and motoric elements, ego environment interaction,
and dangerousness and disability.
