Clinical assessment scores worksheet with answers

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 89/47 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 patient’s blood pressure is 109/72 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 chart records GCS 12, with E3 and V4. What motor score M was recorded, and which response does it describe? Give the number.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient has a pulse of 73/min and a blood pressure of 153/92 mmHg. Find the shock index SI = HR/SBP. Round to two decimal places.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient is assessed with the Braden scale: sensory perception: completely limited; moisture: rarely moist; activity: bedfast; mobility: very limited; nutrition: adequate; friction and shear: problem. Use the bands 19–23 not at risk, 15–18 mild, 13–14 moderate, 10–12 high and 9 or below very high. Click the risk level.

1. 1not at risk
2. 2mild risk
3. 3moderate risk
4. 4high risk
5. 5very high risk

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient is assessed with the Morse fall scale: history of falling in the last 3 months: yes; secondary diagnosis: no; ambulatory aid: crutches, cane or walker; IV therapy or saline lock: no; gait: normal, bed rest or wheelchair; mental status: knows own limits. Using the cut-offs 0–24 low, 25–44 moderate and 45 or more high, click the fall-risk level.

1. 1low risk
2. 2moderate risk
3. 3high risk
