187111SBPDBPmmHgMAP = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 187/111 mmHg. Find the mean arterial pressure MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, to the nearest whole mmHg.

A? / 2+P? / 2+G? / 2+A? / 2+R? / 2Σ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). At 1 minute after birth, a practice newborn has blue or pale skin all over, a heart rate of 60/min, no response to stimulation, limp limbs with no muscle tone and slow, irregular breathing with a weak cry. What is the APGAR score?

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: no impairment; moisture: rarely moist; activity: walks frequently; mobility: slightly limited; nutrition: very poor; friction and shear: no apparent problem. Find the Braden total B.
