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 spontaneously, is oriented to person, place and time and shows as the best motor response: withdraws the limb from pressure (normal flexion). Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

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 only to pressure (a painful stimulus), says inappropriate, random words and shows as the best motor response: abnormal flexion of the arms (decorticate posture). Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Use the NEWS2 chart (SpO₂ scale 1) for these observations: respiration rate 25/min, SpO₂ 97% on supplemental oxygen, blood pressure 90/54 mmHg, pulse 70/min, alert, temperature 35.8 °C. What is the NEWS2 total score?

E4 / 4+V5 / 5+M? / 6GCS 15?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice chart records GCS 15, with E4 and V5. What motor score M was recorded, and which response does it describe? Give the number.
