Clinical assessment scores worksheet with answers

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 104/74 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 patient’s blood pressure is 101/63 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 patient has a pulse of 109/min and a blood pressure of 127/83 mmHg. Find the shock index SI = HR/SBP. Round to two decimal places.

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: yes; secondary diagnosis: no; ambulatory aid: none, bed rest or nurse assists; IV therapy or saline lock: no; gait: impaired; mental status: knows own limits. Find the Morse total MFS.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). The team aims for a mean arterial pressure of at least 70 mmHg. A patient’s systolic pressure is 102 mmHg. Using MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, what is the lowest diastolic pressure DBP that still gives a MAP of 70 mmHg?

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