Term Description

Moisture of neonatal skin is described as either constantly moist (=4), moist (=3), occasionally moist (=2) or rarely moist (=1) in the Neonatal Skin Risk Assessment Scale (NSRAS). Constantly moist skin is moist/damp every time the infant is moved or turned. Moist skin is often damp but not always; linens must be changed at least once a shift. Occasionally moist skin requires an extra linen change approximately once a day. Rarely moist skin is usually dry; linens require changing only every 24 hours. Only one numeric value is selected.
