In Brief The Edinburgh Feeding Evaluation in Dementia scale is an 11-item instrument developed to assess eating and feeding problems in people with late-stage dementia. By looking for certain behaviors—spilling food while eating or turning the head when prompted to eat, for example—a nurse can identify a patient's needs and build an effective care plan. The scale takes as little as five minutes to complete. Watch an online video of nurses demonstrating the use of the scale: https://links.lww.com/A281.
