Precise definitions of scoring items
Example: How do you differentiate between mild, moderate and severe tremors?
Example: How do you differentiate between a hyperactive and a markedly hyperactive
Moro
reflex?
Example: What is excessive crying?
Watch a video of a NAS infant being examined/scored for NAS: demonstrates technique
Establish reliability by scoring infant on the video
Test inter-observer reliability
One nurse examines the baby while the other nurse watches
Both nurses score baby independently
Compare scoring on each item
Goal is > 90% agreement
Zero items disagree = 100%
One item disagree = 95%
Two items disagree = 90%
