1.Easy
51 kg158 cmBMI = kg/m²BMI = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 51 kg and is 158 cm tall. Find the body mass index BMI = weight (kg)/height (m)². Round to one decimal place.

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 only incomprehensible sounds such as moaning and shows as the best motor response: extension of the arms and legs (abnormal extension). Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

12072SBPDBPmmHgHR 65/min · SI = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient has a pulse of 65/min and a blood pressure of 120/72 mmHg. Find the shock index SI = HR/SBP. Round to two decimal places.

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