Clinical assessment scores worksheet with answers

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 109/45 mmHg. Find the pulse pressure PP.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). At 5 minutes after birth, a practice newborn has pink skin all over, a heart rate of 130/min, a grimace when stimulated, some flexion of the arms and legs and good breathing with a strong cry. What is the APGAR score?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient is assessed with the Braden scale: sensory perception: very limited; moisture: constantly moist; activity: walks occasionally; mobility: very limited; nutrition: probably inadequate; 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: occasionally 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). The team aims for a mean arterial pressure of at least 60 mmHg. A patient’s systolic pressure is 100 mmHg. Using MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, what is the lowest diastolic pressure DBP that still gives a MAP of 60 mmHg?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). The team aims for a mean arterial pressure of at least 60 mmHg. A patient’s systolic pressure is 92 mmHg. Using MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, what is the lowest diastolic pressure DBP that still gives a MAP of 60 mmHg?
