116 kg166 cmBMI = kg/m²BMI = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 116 kg and is 166 cm tall. Find the body mass index BMI = weight (kg)/height (m)². Round to one decimal place.

14595SBPDBPmmHgMAP = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 145/95 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 practice patient is assessed with the Morse fall scale: history of falling in the last 3 months: no; secondary diagnosis: yes; 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: completely limited; moisture: occasionally moist; activity: walks frequently; mobility: slightly limited; nutrition: probably inadequate; friction and shear: problem. Find the Braden total B.

85?SBPDBPmmHgMAP = 65

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 85 mmHg. Using MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, what is the lowest diastolic pressure DBP that still gives a MAP of 65 mmHg?

MAP 65 mmHgSBP 85 mmHg
DBP = mmHg

Answer key

  1. 1. BMI = 42.1 kg/m²
  2. 2. MAP = 112 mmHg
  3. 3. MFS = 40
  4. 4. B = 14
  5. 5. low
  6. 6. DBP = 55 mmHg
