Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). At 1 minute after birth, a practice newborn has pink skin all over, a heart rate of 165/min, a grimace when stimulated, some flexion of the arms and legs and slow, irregular breathing with a weak cry. What is the APGAR score?
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Use the NEWS2 chart (SpO₂ scale 1) for these observations: respiration rate 26/min, SpO₂ 97% on room air, blood pressure 112/68 mmHg, pulse 104/min, alert, temperature 36.9 °C. What is the NEWS2 total score?
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient has a pulse of 73/min and a blood pressure of 94/52 mmHg. Find the shock index SI = HR/SBP. Round to two decimal places.
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: no; ambulatory aid: none, bed rest or nurse assists; IV therapy or saline lock: yes; gait: impaired; 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.
