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: yes; ambulatory aid: none, bed rest or nurse assists; IV therapy or saline lock: yes; gait: weak; mental status: knows own 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: rarely moist; activity: chairfast; mobility: completely immobile; nutrition: adequate; friction and shear: no apparent problem. Use the bands 19–23 not at risk, 15–18 mild, 13–14 moderate, 10–12 high and 9 or below very high. Click the risk level.
