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), makes no sounds and shows as the best motor response: abnormal flexion of the arms (decorticate posture). Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 128 kg and is 189 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 Braden scale: sensory perception: no impairment; moisture: constantly moist; activity: walks occasionally; mobility: no limitation; nutrition: very poor; friction and shear: no apparent problem. Find the Braden total B.

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: walks frequently; mobility: very limited; nutrition: excellent; 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.

  1. 1not at risk
  2. 2mild risk
  3. 3moderate risk
  4. 4high risk
  5. 5very high risk
