Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes spontaneously, talks in sentences but is confused and shows as the best motor response: moves a hand to the site of pressure (localises). 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 Braden scale: sensory perception: slightly limited; moisture: very moist; activity: walks frequently; mobility: slightly limited; nutrition: probably inadequate; friction and shear: no apparent problem. Find the Braden total B.
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: no; secondary diagnosis: yes; ambulatory aid: none, bed rest or nurse assists; IV therapy or saline lock: no; gait: impaired; mental status: overestimates or forgets limits.

Score the APGAR and click how the score is interpreted.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Use the NEWS2 chart (SpO₂ scale 1) for these observations: respiration rate 23/min, SpO₂ 88% on room air, blood pressure 150/90 mmHg, pulse 92/min, alert, temperature 35.8 °C. Which clinical risk group does the patient fall into? Click it.
