1.Easy
140 kg181 cmBMI = kg/m²BMI = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 140 kg and is 181 cm tall. Find the body mass index BMI = weight (kg)/height (m)². Round to one decimal place.

BMI = kg/m²
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, says inappropriate, random words and shows as the best motor response: abnormal flexion of the arms (decorticate posture). Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

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: yes; ambulatory aid: crutches, cane or walker; IV therapy or saline lock: no; gait: normal, bed rest or wheelchair; mental status: overestimates or forgets limits. Find the Morse total MFS.

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: crutches, cane or walker; IV therapy or saline lock: no; gait: weak; mental status: overestimates or forgets limits. Find the Morse total MFS.

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: yes; ambulatory aid: none, bed rest or nurse assists; IV therapy or saline lock: yes; gait: normal, bed rest or wheelchair; mental status: knows own limits. Using the cut-offs 0–24 low, 25–44 moderate and 45 or more high, click the fall-risk level.

  1. 1low risk
  2. 2moderate risk
  3. 3high risk
