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: no movement at all. Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

A? / 2+P? / 2+G? / 2+A? / 2+R? / 2Σ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). At 1 minute after birth, a practice newborn has blue or pale skin all over, a heart rate of 60/min, a cry, cough or sneeze when stimulated, limp limbs with no muscle tone and good breathing with a strong cry. What is the APGAR score?

H? / 25+D? / 15+Aid? / 30+IV? / 20+G? / 20+MS? / 15Σ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient is assessed with the Morse fall scale: history of falling in the last 3 months: yes; secondary diagnosis: no; ambulatory aid: none, bed rest or nurse assists; IV therapy or saline lock: no; gait: weak; mental status: knows own limits. Find the Morse total MFS.
