The document outlines the PIPP (Premature Infant Pain Profile) assessment tool, developed by Stevens et al. in 1996, for evaluating pain in premature infants. It details a systematic process for observing and scoring various indicators such as gestational age, behavioral state, heart rate, and facial expressions to determine the infant's pain level. The scoring system categorizes pain severity into minimal, slight to moderate, and severe, guiding appropriate interventions based on the total score.
