1.Easy
78 kg169 cmBMI = kg/m²BMI = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 78 kg and is 169 cm tall. Find the body mass index BMI = weight (kg)/height (m)². Round to one decimal place.

8661SBPDBPmmHgMAP = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 86/61 mmHg. Find the mean arterial pressure MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, to the nearest whole mmHg.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes when spoken to, makes only incomprehensible sounds such as moaning and shows as the best motor response: extension of the arms and legs (abnormal extension). Work out the GCS and classify the head injury by it. Click your answer.

13775SBPDBPmmHgHR 90/min · SI = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient has a pulse of 90/min and a blood pressure of 137/75 mmHg. Find the shock index SI = HR/SBP. Round to two decimal places.

99?SBPDBPmmHgMAP = 65

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). The team aims for a mean arterial pressure of at least 65 mmHg. A patient’s systolic pressure is 99 mmHg. Using MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, what is the lowest diastolic pressure DBP that still gives a MAP of 65 mmHg?
