Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 97/61 mmHg. Find the mean arterial pressure MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, to the nearest whole mmHg.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Use the NEWS2 chart (SpO₂ scale 1) for these observations: respiration rate 9/min, SpO₂ 90% on room air, blood pressure 150/90 mmHg, pulse 64/min, alert, temperature 36.1 °C. What is the NEWS2 total score?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes only to pressure (a painful stimulus), says inappropriate, random words and shows as the best motor response: abnormal flexion of the arms (decorticate posture). Work out the GCS and classify the head injury by it. Click your answer.
