63 kg165 cmBMI = kg/m²BMI = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 63 kg and is 165 cm tall. Find the body mass index BMI = weight (kg)/height (m)². Round to one decimal place.

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 75/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?

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

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 occasionally; mobility: completely immobile; nutrition: adequate; friction and shear: no apparent problem.
