Clinical assessment scores worksheet with answers

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury does not open the eyes at all, says inappropriate, random words and shows as the best motor response: extension of the arms and legs (abnormal extension). Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 133/73 mmHg. Find the mean arterial pressure MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, to the nearest whole mmHg.

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

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury does not open the eyes at all, makes only incomprehensible sounds such as moaning and shows as the best motor response: extension of the arms and legs (abnormal extension). Work out the GCS and classify the head injury by it. Click your answer.

1. 1mild

3. 3severe

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 67 kg and is 166 cm tall. Calculate the BMI and click the WHO weight category.

1. 1underweight
2. 2healthy weight
3. 3overweight
4. 4obesity class I
5. 5obesity class II
6. 6obesity class III

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). The team aims for a mean arterial pressure of at least 65 mmHg. A patient’s systolic pressure is 113 mmHg. Using MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, what is the lowest diastolic pressure DBP that still gives a MAP of 65 mmHg?
