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, says inappropriate, random words 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.

2.Easy
14379SBPDBPmmHgMAP = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 143/79 mmHg. Find the mean arterial pressure MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, to the nearest whole mmHg.

SBP 143 mmHgDBP 79 mmHg
MAP = mmHg
3.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: no impairment; moisture: occasionally moist; activity: walks frequently; mobility: slightly limited; nutrition: excellent; friction and shear: no apparent problem. Find the Braden total B.

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: rarely moist; activity: walks occasionally; mobility: no limitation; nutrition: excellent; friction and shear: potential 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: no impairment; moisture: rarely moist; activity: walks frequently; mobility: no limitation; nutrition: adequate; friction and shear: 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.
