| Assess the presence and intensity of pain in the abdominal region, using the Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS Scale), up to 48 hours after cesarean section. It is a grading rule that varies from 0 to 10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being the greatest possible pain. It is expected to find a reduction in pain in the abdominal region, through a score closest to 0 on the VAS Scale. Assess the level of functionality, using the Patient-Specific Functional Scale - EFEP, up to 48 hours after cesarean section. It is a scale in which the patient reports three tasks that she cannot perform or has limitations and/or restrictions in performing. Then, you grade the ease with which you are able to perform the task from 0 to 10, with 0 being unable to perform the task and 10 being completely capable of performing it. It is expected to find an increase in the level of functionality through a score closer to 10 on the EFEP | — |
