Clinical assessment scores worksheet with answers

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 127/96 mmHg. Find the pulse pressure PP.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). At 1 minute after birth, a practice newborn has a pink body with blue hands and feet, a heart rate of 70/min, a grimace when stimulated, active movement and slow, irregular breathing with a weak cry. What is the APGAR score?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes spontaneously, is oriented to person, place and time and shows as the best motor response: withdraws the limb from pressure (normal flexion). Work out the GCS and classify the head injury by it. Click your answer.

2. 2moderate
3. 3severe

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice chart records GCS 11, with E3 and V4. What motor score M was recorded, and which response does it describe? Give the number.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). At 1 minute after birth, a practice newborn has pink skin all over, a heart rate of 75/min, a grimace when stimulated, some flexion of the arms and legs and slow, irregular breathing with a weak cry. Score the APGAR and click how the score is interpreted.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). The team aims for a mean arterial pressure of at least 70 mmHg. A patient’s systolic pressure is 126 mmHg. Using MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, what is the lowest diastolic pressure DBP that still gives a MAP of 70 mmHg?
