A? / 2+P? / 2+G? / 2+A? / 2+R? / 2Σ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). At 5 minutes after birth, a practice newborn has a pink body with blue hands and feet, a heart rate of 80/min, a grimace when stimulated, some flexion of the arms and legs and good breathing with a strong cry. What is the APGAR score?

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: occasionally moist; activity: chairfast; mobility: completely immobile; nutrition: very poor; friction and shear: potential problem. Find the Braden total B.
