M. Carollo,

That is a great suggestion. Heath care professionals need to know how to use the scale properly to perform an assessment.

There needs to be a training video for nurses on alcoholism and using the CIWA-Ar correctly.

Why is the scoring on the first 5 assessments less specific than the last 5? I have nurses expresses difficulty and doubt with #2,3,5,6 having no description on N/V, tremors, sweats, anxiety and agitation. Is there an instruction guidelines for CIWA? Thank you
