E? / 4+V? / 5+M? / 6GCS?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes spontaneously, is oriented to person, place and time and shows as the best motor response: obeys commands. Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

2.Easy
E? / 4+V? / 5+M? / 6GCS?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes only to pressure (a painful stimulus), makes no sounds and shows as the best motor response: no movement at all. Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). At 5 minutes after birth, a practice newborn has a pink body with blue hands and feet, a heart rate of 60/min, a grimace when stimulated, some flexion of the arms and legs and slow, irregular breathing with a weak cry. Score the APGAR and click how the score is interpreted.
