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 when spoken to, is oriented to person, place and time 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

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), 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.

E 1–4V 1–5M 1–6

3.Medium
E3 / 4+V4 / 5+M? / 6GCS 11?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice chart records GCS 11, with E3 and V4. 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 30/min, SpO₂ 86% on room air, blood pressure 136/82 mmHg, pulse 88/min, alert, temperature 36.0 °C. What is the NEWS2 total score?
