Clinical assessment scores worksheet with answers

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). Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 100 kg and is 172 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 after a head injury does not open the eyes at all, makes no sounds and shows as the best motor response: no movement at all. Work out the GCS and classify the head injury by it. Click your answer.

1. 1mild
2. 2moderate
3. 3severe
