Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 109 kg and is 152 cm tall. Find the body mass index BMI = weight (kg)/height (m)². Round to one decimal place.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient has a pulse of 142/min and a blood pressure of 82/49 mmHg. Find the shock index SI = HR/SBP. Round to two decimal places.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Use the NEWS2 chart (SpO₂ scale 1) for these observations: respiration rate 20/min, SpO₂ 88% on supplemental oxygen, blood pressure 92/56 mmHg, pulse 82/min, alert, temperature 36.3 °C. What is the NEWS2 total score?
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). The team aims for a mean arterial pressure of at least 60 mmHg. A patient’s systolic pressure is 102 mmHg. Using MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, what is the lowest diastolic pressure DBP that still gives a MAP of 60 mmHg?
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). At 1 minute after birth, a practice newborn has blue or pale skin all over, no heartbeat, no response to stimulation, limp limbs with no muscle tone and no breathing. Score the APGAR and click how the score is interpreted.
