It indicates whether each technique is likely ("") to produce outcomes like increased sedation, decreased anxiety, or decreased muscle tension, possibly ("P") can produce outcomes, or whether the outcome is debatable ("?"). The techniques are assessed for their ability to impact issues like anxiety, arousal, pain relief, and muscle tone.
