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

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes only to pressure (a painful stimulus), talks in sentences but is confused and shows as the best motor response: moves a hand to the site of pressure (localises). Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

E 1–4V 1–5M 1–6
GCS =
2.Easy
E? / 4+V? / 5+M? / 6GCS?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes only to pressure (a painful stimulus), says inappropriate, random words and shows as the best motor response: withdraws the limb from pressure (normal flexion). Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

E 1–4V 1–5M 1–6
GCS =
3.Medium
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: no impairment; moisture: rarely moist; activity: walks occasionally; mobility: very limited; nutrition: adequate; friction and shear: no apparent problem. Find the Braden total B.

4.Medium
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: slightly limited; moisture: rarely moist; activity: chairfast; mobility: very limited; 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 Braden scale: sensory perception: no impairment; moisture: rarely moist; activity: chairfast; mobility: slightly limited; nutrition: excellent; friction and shear: potential problem. Use the bands 19–23 not at risk, 15–18 mild, 13–14 moderate, 10–12 high and 9 or below very high. Click the risk level.

  1. 1not at risk
  2. 2mild risk
  3. 3moderate risk
  4. 4high risk
  5. 5very high risk

Answer key

  1. 1. GCS = 11
  2. 2. GCS = 9
  3. 3. B = 19
  4. 4. B = 15
  5. 5. obesity class III
  6. 6. not at risk
