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: no; ambulatory aid: crutches, cane or walker; IV therapy or saline lock: yes; gait: normal, bed rest or wheelchair; mental status: knows own limits. Using the cut-offs 0–24 low, 25–44 moderate and 45 or more high, click the fall-risk level.

  1. 1low risk
  2. 2moderate risk
  3. 3high risk

Answer key

  1. 1. BMI = 16.8 kg/m²
  2. 2. MAP = 121 mmHg
  3. 3. NEWS2 = 6
  4. 4. NEWS2 = 2
  5. 5. medium
  6. 6. moderate risk
