Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 87 kg and is 184 cm tall. Find the body mass index BMI = weight (kg)/height (m)². Round to one decimal place.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient is assessed with the Braden scale: sensory perception: slightly limited; moisture: occasionally moist; activity: chairfast; mobility: no limitation; 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: no impairment; moisture: very moist; activity: chairfast; 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 Morse fall scale: history of falling in the last 3 months: no; secondary diagnosis: yes; ambulatory aid: crutches, cane or walker; IV therapy or saline lock: no; gait: weak; 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.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient is assessed with the Braden scale: sensory perception: very limited; moisture: rarely moist; activity: bedfast; mobility: completely immobile; nutrition: excellent; 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.
