Clinical assessment scores worksheet with answers

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 144/99 mmHg. Find the mean arterial pressure MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, to the nearest whole mmHg.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 75 kg and is 151 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: very limited; moisture: occasionally moist; activity: chairfast; mobility: completely immobile; 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: yes; secondary diagnosis: yes; ambulatory aid: holds on to furniture; IV therapy or saline lock: no; gait: normal, bed rest or wheelchair; mental status: knows own limits. Find the Morse total MFS.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Use the NEWS2 chart (SpO₂ scale 1) for these observations: respiration rate 12/min, SpO₂ 91% on room air, blood pressure 150/90 mmHg, pulse 50/min, unresponsive, temperature 38.4 °C. Which clinical risk group does the patient fall into? Click it.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). The team aims for a mean arterial pressure of at least 70 mmHg. A patient’s systolic pressure is 116 mmHg. Using MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, what is the lowest diastolic pressure DBP that still gives a MAP of 70 mmHg?
