11367SBPDBPmmHgMAP = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 113/67 mmHg. Find the mean arterial pressure MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, to the nearest whole mmHg.

2.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 spontaneously, talks in sentences but is confused and shows as the best motor response: withdraws the limb from pressure (normal flexion). 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 18/min, SpO₂ 93% on supplemental oxygen, blood pressure 112/68 mmHg, pulse 64/min, alert, temperature 38.4 °C. What is the NEWS2 total score?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes when spoken to, talks in sentences but is confused and shows as the best motor response: abnormal flexion of the arms (decorticate posture). Work out the GCS and classify the head injury by it. Click your answer.
