18396SBPDBPmmHgMAP = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 183/96 mmHg. Find the mean arterial pressure MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, to the nearest whole mmHg.

A? / 2+P? / 2+G? / 2+A? / 2+R? / 2Σ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). At 1 minute after birth, a practice newborn has a pink body with blue hands and feet, a heart rate of 105/min, a grimace when stimulated, active movement and slow, irregular breathing with a weak 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: slightly limited; moisture: very moist; activity: walks occasionally; mobility: no limitation; nutrition: probably inadequate; friction and shear: potential problem. Find the Braden total B.

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: holds on to furniture; IV therapy or saline lock: yes; gait: weak; mental status: overestimates or forgets limits. Find the Morse total MFS.
