E? / 4+V? / 5+M? / 6GCS?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes spontaneously, is oriented to person, place and time and shows as the best motor response: moves a hand to the site of pressure (localises). Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

2.Easy
A? / 2+P? / 2+G? / 2+A? / 2+R? / 2Σ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). At 1 minute after birth, a practice newborn has blue or pale skin all over, a heart rate of 120/min, no response to stimulation, active movement and slow, irregular breathing with a weak cry. What is the APGAR score?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes spontaneously, is oriented to person, place and time and shows as the best motor response: moves a hand to the site of pressure (localises). Work out the GCS and classify the head injury by it. Click your answer.

S? / 4+M? / 4+A? / 4+Mob? / 4+N? / 4+F? / 3Σ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient is assessed with the Braden scale: sensory perception: completely limited; moisture: very moist; activity: chairfast; mobility: very limited; nutrition: probably inadequate; friction and shear: no apparent problem. Find the Braden total B.
