Clinical assessment scores worksheet with answers

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 176/107 mmHg. Find the pulse pressure PP.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 161/90 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 practice patient is assessed with the Braden scale: sensory perception: no impairment; moisture: occasionally moist; activity: walks frequently; mobility: slightly limited; nutrition: excellent; friction and shear: problem. Find the Braden total B.

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: no; gait: impaired; mental status: knows own limits. Find the Morse total MFS.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 95 kg and is 183 cm tall. Calculate the BMI and click the WHO weight category.

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