1.Easy
11254SBPDBPmmHgMAP = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 112/54 mmHg. Find the mean arterial pressure MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, to the nearest whole mmHg.

MAP = mmHg
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 only to pressure (a painful stimulus), makes no sounds and shows as the best motor response: no movement at all. Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

3.Medium
S? / 4+M? / 4+A? / 4+Mob? / 4+N? / 4+F? / 3Σ?

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: walks frequently; mobility: very limited; nutrition: very poor; friction and shear: potential problem. Find the Braden total B.

4.Medium
mildmoderatesevere

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes only to pressure (a painful stimulus), says inappropriate, random words and shows as the best motor response: withdraws the limb from pressure (normal flexion). Work out the GCS and classify the head injury by it. Click your answer.

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: completely immobile; nutrition: probably inadequate; friction and shear: 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.
