Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). At 5 minutes after birth, a practice newborn has blue or pale skin all over, a heart rate of 65/min, a grimace when stimulated, some flexion of the arms and legs and slow, irregular breathing with a weak cry. What is the APGAR score?
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). At 5 minutes after birth, a practice newborn has blue or pale skin all over, a heart rate of 75/min, a grimace when stimulated, limp limbs with no muscle tone and slow, irregular breathing with a weak cry. What is the APGAR score?
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: no; secondary diagnosis: yes; ambulatory aid: crutches, cane or walker; IV therapy or saline lock: no; gait: weak; mental status: knows own limits. Find the Morse total MFS.
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: holds on to furniture; IV therapy or saline lock: yes; gait: normal, bed rest or wheelchair; mental status: knows own limits. Find the Morse total MFS.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient is assessed with the Braden scale: sensory perception: very limited; moisture: very moist; activity: bedfast; mobility: very limited; nutrition: adequate; 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.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Use the NEWS2 chart (SpO₂ scale 1) for these observations: respiration rate 18/min, SpO₂ 92% on room air, blood pressure 124/74 mmHg, pulse 114/min, alert, temperature 38.1 °C. Which clinical risk group does the patient fall into? Click it.
