Clinical assessment scores worksheet with answers

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 108 kg and is 154 cm tall. Find the body mass index BMI = weight (kg)/height (m)². Round to one decimal place.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 130 kg and is 173 cm tall. Find the body mass index BMI = weight (kg)/height (m)². Round to one decimal place.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice chart records GCS 11, with E3 and V3. What motor score M was recorded, and which response does it describe? Give the number.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Use the NEWS2 chart (SpO₂ scale 1) for these observations: respiration rate 18/min, SpO₂ 98% on supplemental oxygen, blood pressure 78/46 mmHg, pulse 104/min, alert, temperature 38.1 °C. What is the NEWS2 total score?

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: normal, bed rest or wheelchair; mental status: overestimates or forgets limits. Using the cut-offs 0–24 low, 25–44 moderate and 45 or more high, click the fall-risk level.

2. 2moderate risk
3. 3high risk

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