1.Easy
11787SBPDBPmmHgMAP = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 117/87 mmHg. Find the mean arterial pressure MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, to the nearest whole mmHg.

SBP 117 mmHgDBP 87 mmHg
MAP = 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 only to pressure (a painful stimulus), talks in sentences but is confused and shows as the best motor response: abnormal flexion of the arms (decorticate posture). Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

3.Medium
E2 / 4+V2 / 5+M? / 6GCS 7?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice chart records GCS 7, with E2 and V2. What motor score M was recorded, and which response does it describe? Give the number.

4.Medium
S? / 4+M? / 4+A? / 4+Mob? / 4+N? / 4+F? / 3Σ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient is assessed with the Braden scale: sensory perception: very limited; moisture: rarely moist; activity: chairfast; mobility: very limited; nutrition: adequate; friction and shear: potential problem. Find the Braden total B.

5.Hard
106?SBPDBPmmHgMAP = 60

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). The team aims for a mean arterial pressure of at least 60 mmHg. A patient’s systolic pressure is 106 mmHg. Using MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, what is the lowest diastolic pressure DBP that still gives a MAP of 60 mmHg?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Use the NEWS2 chart (SpO₂ scale 1) for these observations: respiration rate 24/min, SpO₂ 99% on room air, blood pressure 222/134 mmHg, pulse 98/min, alert, temperature 35.5 °C.
