86 kg177 cmBMI = kg/m²BMI = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 86 kg and is 177 cm tall. Find the body mass index BMI = weight (kg)/height (m)². Round to one decimal place.

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, 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). A practice patient is assessed with the Braden scale: sensory perception: slightly limited; moisture: very moist; activity: chairfast; mobility: completely immobile; nutrition: probably inadequate; friction and shear: potential problem. Find the Braden total B.

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: rarely moist; activity: bedfast; mobility: very limited; nutrition: very poor; friction and shear: potential problem.
