Clinical assessment scores worksheet with answers

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 131/72 mmHg. Find the mean arterial pressure MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, to the nearest whole mmHg.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). At 5 minutes after birth, a practice newborn has pink skin all over, a heart rate of 115/min, a cry, cough or sneeze when stimulated, active movement and good breathing with a strong cry. What is the APGAR score?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient is assessed with the Braden scale: sensory perception: no impairment; moisture: constantly 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). 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). Work out the GCS and classify the head injury by it. Click your answer.
