Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 150 kg and is 178 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 patient is assessed with the Morse fall scale: history of falling in the last 3 months: yes; secondary diagnosis: no; ambulatory aid: crutches, cane or walker; IV therapy or saline lock: yes; gait: normal, bed rest or wheelchair; mental status: overestimates or forgets limits. Find the Morse total MFS.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes when spoken to, talks in sentences but is confused and shows as the best motor response: moves a hand to the site of pressure (localises).

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: crutches, cane or walker; IV therapy or saline lock: yes; gait: weak; 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.

1. 1low risk
2. 2moderate risk
3. 3high risk

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: no limitation; nutrition: very poor; friction and shear: no apparent 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
