1.Easy
E? / 4+V? / 5+M? / 6GCS?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury does not open the eyes at all, makes no sounds and shows as the best motor response: extension of the arms and legs (abnormal extension). Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

2.Easy
160106SBPDBPmmHgMAP = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 160/106 mmHg. Find the mean arterial pressure MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, to the nearest whole mmHg.

SBP 160 mmHgDBP 106 mmHg
MAP = mmHg
3.Medium
mildmoderatesevere

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury does not open the eyes at all, makes only incomprehensible sounds such as moaning and shows as the best motor response: no movement at all. Work out the GCS and classify the head injury by it. Click your answer.

  1. 1mild
  2. 2moderate
  3. 3severe
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: completely limited; moisture: very moist; activity: walks occasionally; mobility: completely immobile; nutrition: very poor; friction and shear: 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: completely limited; moisture: rarely moist; activity: walks frequently; mobility: no limitation; nutrition: probably inadequate; 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
