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: completely limited; moisture: occasionally moist; activity: bedfast; mobility: slightly limited; nutrition: probably inadequate; friction and shear: problem. Find the Braden total B.
