Clinical assessment scores worksheet with answers

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 150/91 mmHg. Find the mean arterial pressure MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, to the nearest whole mmHg.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 49 kg and is 159 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 is assessed with the Braden scale: sensory perception: slightly limited; moisture: constantly moist; activity: walks frequently; mobility: no limitation; nutrition: excellent; friction and shear: no apparent 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: completely limited; moisture: occasionally moist; activity: chairfast; mobility: no limitation; nutrition: adequate; friction and shear: no apparent problem. Find the Braden total B.

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.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). The team aims for a mean arterial pressure of at least 65 mmHg. A patient’s systolic pressure is 123 mmHg. Using MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, what is the lowest diastolic pressure DBP that still gives a MAP of 65 mmHg?
