E? / 4+V? / 5+M? / 6GCS?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes when spoken to, makes only incomprehensible sounds such as moaning and shows as the best motor response: abnormal flexion of the arms (decorticate posture). Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

2.Easy
E? / 4+V? / 5+M? / 6GCS?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury does not open the eyes at all, makes only incomprehensible sounds such as moaning and shows as the best motor response: no movement at all. Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

S? / 4+M? / 4+A? / 4+Mob? / 4+N? / 4+F? / 3Σ?

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: no limitation; nutrition: excellent; friction and shear: no apparent problem. Find the Braden total B.
