Clinical assessment scores worksheet with answers

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 134 kg and is 192 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 after a head injury opens the eyes when spoken to, is oriented to person, place and time and shows as the best motor response: withdraws the limb from pressure (normal flexion). Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient is assessed with the Morse fall scale: history of falling in the last 3 months: yes; secondary diagnosis: no; ambulatory aid: holds on to furniture; IV therapy or saline lock: yes; gait: normal, bed rest or wheelchair; mental status: overestimates or forgets limits. Find the Morse total MFS.

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

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Use the NEWS2 chart (SpO₂ scale 1) for these observations: respiration rate 20/min, SpO₂ 99% on room air, blood pressure 84/50 mmHg, pulse 82/min, alert, temperature 36.2 °C. Which clinical risk group does the patient fall into? Click it.

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 106 mmHg. Using MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, what is the lowest diastolic pressure DBP that still gives a MAP of 70 mmHg?
