Clinical assessment scores worksheet with answers

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 98 kg and is 196 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 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.

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: no; secondary diagnosis: no; ambulatory aid: holds on to furniture; IV therapy or saline lock: no; gait: impaired; mental status: knows own 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: very limited; moisture: rarely moist; activity: bedfast; mobility: slightly limited; nutrition: very poor; friction and shear: potential problem. Find the Braden total B.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient is assessed with the Braden scale: sensory perception: no impairment; moisture: rarely moist; activity: chairfast; mobility: completely immobile; nutrition: very poor; 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.

5. 5very high risk

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Use the NEWS2 chart (SpO₂ scale 1) for these observations: respiration rate 26/min, SpO₂ 96% on supplemental oxygen, blood pressure 102/62 mmHg, pulse 70/min, alert, temperature 34.8 °C. Which clinical risk group does the patient fall into? Click it.
