Using the cut-offs 0–24 low, 25–44 moderate and 45 or more high, click the fall-risk level.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Use the NEWS2 chart (SpO₂ scale 1) for these observations: respiration rate 14/min, SpO₂ 91% on room air, blood pressure 136/82 mmHg, pulse 58/min, alert, temperature 36.8 °C. Which clinical risk group does the patient fall into? Click it.
