Clinical assessment scores worksheet with answers

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes only to pressure (a painful stimulus), 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). An adult weighs 115 kg and is 155 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 is assessed with the Morse fall scale: history of falling in the last 3 months: no; secondary diagnosis: no; ambulatory aid: crutches, cane or walker; IV therapy or saline lock: yes; gait: normal, bed rest or wheelchair; mental status: knows own limits. Find the Morse total MFS.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice chart records GCS 4, with E2 and V1. What motor score M was recorded, and which response does it describe? Give the number.

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: none, bed rest or nurse assists; IV therapy or saline lock: no; gait: weak; mental status: knows own limits. Using the cut-offs 0–24 low, 25–44 moderate and 45 or more high, click the fall-risk level.
