1.Easy
E? / 4+V? / 5+M? / 6GCS?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes when spoken to, says inappropriate, random words and shows as the best motor response: abnormal flexion of the arms (decorticate posture). Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

2.Easy
E? / 4+V? / 5+M? / 6GCS?

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). Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Use the NEWS2 chart (SpO₂ scale 1) for these observations: respiration rate 23/min, SpO₂ 98% on supplemental oxygen, blood pressure 88/52 mmHg, pulse 44/min, alert, temperature 37.0 °C. What is the NEWS2 total score?

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: chairfast; mobility: completely immobile; nutrition: excellent; friction and shear: no apparent problem. Find the Braden total B.
