Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient is assessed with the Braden scale: sensory perception: very limited; moisture: very moist; activity: chairfast; mobility: completely immobile; nutrition: probably inadequate; 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 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: no; gait: weak; mental status: knows own limits. Using the cut-offs 0–24 low, 25–44 moderate and 45 or more high, click the fall-risk level.
