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: abnormal flexion of the arms (decorticate posture). Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.
Clinical assessment scores worksheet with answers
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 71 kg and is 183 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). Use the NEWS2 chart (SpO₂ scale 1) for these observations: respiration rate 24/min, SpO₂ 97% on room air, blood pressure 78/46 mmHg, pulse 82/min, alert, temperature 37.0 °C. What is the NEWS2 total score?
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice chart records GCS 12, with E3 and V5. What motor score M was recorded, and which response does it describe? Give the number.
