1.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, is oriented to person, place and time and shows as the best motor response: obeys commands. Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

41 kg160 cmBMI = kg/m²BMI = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 41 kg and is 160 cm tall. Find the body mass index BMI = weight (kg)/height (m)². Round to one decimal place.

BMI = kg/m²
3.Medium
H? / 25+D? / 15+Aid? / 30+IV? / 20+G? / 20+MS? / 15Σ?

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: none, bed rest or nurse assists; IV therapy or saline lock: yes; gait: impaired; mental status: overestimates or forgets limits. Find the Morse total MFS.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient is assessed with the Braden scale: sensory perception: slightly limited; moisture: rarely moist; activity: walks frequently; mobility: slightly limited; nutrition: adequate; friction and shear: potential 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.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient is assessed with the Braden scale: sensory perception: completely limited; moisture: very moist; activity: bedfast; mobility: completely immobile; 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.
