#' @title Score the FACT-BP
#'
#' @description
#' Generates all of the scores of the 13 short version of the Functional Assessment
#' of Cancer Therapy- Bone Pain (FACT-BP) from item responses.
#'
#' @details
#' Given a data frame that includes all of the FACT-BP items as variables,
#' appropriately named, this function generates all of the FACT-BP scale
#' scores. It is crucial that the item variables in the supplied data frame
#' are named according to FACT conventions. For example, the first bone pain item
#' should be named Q7, the second GF7, and so on. Please
#' refer to the materials provided by \url{http://www.facit.org} for the
#' particular questionnaire you are using. In particular, refer to the left
#' margin of the official questionnaire (i.e., from facit.org) for the
#' appropriate item variable names.
#'
#' @section Note:
#' Keep in mind that this function (and R in general) is case-sensitive.
#'
#' All variables should be in numeric or integer format.
#'
#' This scoring function expects missing item responses to be coded as NA,
#' 8, or 9, and valid item responses to be coded as 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. Any
#' other value for any of the items will result in an error message and no
#' scores.
#'
#' Some item variables are reverse coded for the purpose of generating the
#' scale scores. The official (e.g., from \url{http://www.facit.org}) SAS
#' and SPSS scoring algorithms for this questionnaire automatically replace
#' the original items with their reverse-coded versions. This can be
#' confusing if you accidentally run the algorithm more than once on your
#' data. As its default, \code{scoreFACT_BP} DOES NOT replace any of your
#' original item variables with the reverse coded versions. However, for
#' consistentcy with the behavior of the other versions on
#' \url{http://www.facit.org}, the \code{updateItems} argument is
#' provided. If set to \code{TRUE}, any item that is supposed to be
#' reverse coded will be replaced with its reversed version in the data
#' frame returned by \code{scoreFACT_BP}.
#'
#'
#' @param df A data frame with the FACT-BP items, appropriately-named.
#' @param updateItems Logical, if \code{TRUE} any original item that is
#' reverse coded for scoring will be replaced by its reverse coded version
#' in the returned data frame, and any values of 8 or 9 will be replaced
#' with NA. The default, \code{FALSE}, returns the original items
#' unmodified.
#' @param keepNvalid Logical, if \code{TRUE} the function
#' returns an additional variable for each of the returned scale scores
#' containing the number of valid, non-missing responses from each
#' respondent to the items on the given scale. If \code{FALSE} (the
#' default), these variables are omitted from the returned data frame.
#'
#'
#' @return The original data frame is returned (optionally with modified
#' items if \code{updateItems = TRUE}) with new variables corresponding to
#' the scored scales. If \code{keepNvalid = TRUE}, for each scored scale an
#' additional variable is returned that contains the number of valid
#' responses each respondent made to the items making up the given scale.
#' These optional variables have names of the format \code{SCALENAME_N}.
#' The following scale scores are returned:

#' \describe{
#' \item{BPS}{Bone Pain subscale}
