132 kg194 cmBMI = kg/m²BMI = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 132 kg and is 194 cm tall. Find the body mass index BMI = weight (kg)/height (m)². Round to one decimal place.

BMI = kg/m²
2.Easy
13068SBPDBPmmHgMAP = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 130/68 mmHg. Find the mean arterial pressure MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, to the nearest whole mmHg.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient is assessed with the Braden scale: sensory perception: slightly limited; moisture: very moist; activity: walks frequently; mobility: no limitation; nutrition: very poor; 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: slightly limited; moisture: very moist; activity: walks occasionally; mobility: no limitation; nutrition: probably inadequate; friction and shear: potential 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.

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: no; secondary diagnosis: yes; ambulatory aid: none, bed rest or nurse assists; IV therapy or saline lock: no; 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
