I will not discuss about the readiness of that particular scale. But un general words, we are very accustomed to scales where you have to answer "From 1 to 10, score your satisfaction with the service provided, with 1 meaning 'not satisfied at all' and 10 meaning 'completely satisfied'". I guess that these kind of scales could also be used for recording some information in the EHR. In that case, the problem is that the DV_ORDINAL is not designed for those cases, but to assign a comparable value to descriptive texts. Maybe in your case, it is not a DV_ORDINAL but a Integer what you need to represent, and the texts are just hints about the sense of the score.
I think that is probably the best interpretation of this particular scale - a number from 1-10 (or a percentage), with an associated partial code set...
