15763SBPDBPmmHgMAP = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 157/63 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 when spoken to, is oriented to person, place and time and shows as the best motor response: moves a hand to the site of pressure (localises). Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

14185SBPDBPmmHgHR 55/min · SI = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient has a pulse of 55/min and a blood pressure of 141/85 mmHg. Find the shock index SI = HR/SBP. Round to two decimal places.

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: occasionally moist; activity: walks frequently; mobility: slightly limited; nutrition: excellent; friction and shear: potential problem. Find the Braden total B.
