165110SBPDBPmmHgPP = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 165/110 mmHg. Find the pulse pressure PP.

SBP 165 mmHgDBP 110 mmHg
PP = 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 when spoken to, talks in sentences but is confused and shows as the best motor response: obeys commands. Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

E1 / 4+V2 / 5+M? / 6GCS 5?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice chart records GCS 5, with E1 and V2. What motor score M was recorded, and which response does it describe? Give the number.
