143 kg191 cmBMI = kg/m²BMI = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 143 kg and is 191 cm tall. Find the body mass index BMI = weight (kg)/height (m)². Round to one decimal place.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient is assessed with the Braden scale: sensory perception: no impairment; moisture: occasionally moist; activity: chairfast; mobility: very limited; nutrition: very poor; friction and shear: no apparent problem. Find the Braden total B.

112?SBPDBPmmHgMAP = 70

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). The team aims for a mean arterial pressure of at least 70 mmHg. A patient’s systolic pressure is 112 mmHg. Using MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, what is the lowest diastolic pressure DBP that still gives a MAP of 70 mmHg?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). At 1 minute after birth, a practice newborn has blue or pale skin all over, no heartbeat, no response to stimulation, limp limbs with no muscle tone and no breathing. Score the APGAR and click how the score is interpreted.
