Clinical assessment scores worksheet with answers

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 148/53 mmHg. Find the mean arterial pressure MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, to the nearest whole mmHg.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 134/71 mmHg. Find the pulse pressure PP.

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: none, bed rest or nurse assists; IV therapy or saline lock: yes; gait: weak; mental status: overestimates or forgets limits. Find the Morse total MFS.

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: none, bed rest or nurse assists; IV therapy or saline lock: no; gait: weak; mental status: overestimates or forgets 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: constantly moist; activity: bedfast; mobility: very limited; 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.

1. 1not at risk
2. 2mild risk
3. 3moderate risk
4. 4high risk
5. 5very high risk

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Use the NEWS2 chart (SpO₂ scale 1) for these observations: respiration rate 12/min, SpO₂ 86% on room air, blood pressure 142/86 mmHg, pulse 82/min, alert, temperature 34.8 °C. Which clinical risk group does the patient fall into? Click it.
