Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 122/64 mmHg. Find the pulse pressure PP.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes only to pressure (a painful stimulus), makes no sounds and shows as the best motor response: no movement at all. Find the Glasgow Coma Scale total GCS = E + V + M.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes spontaneously, is oriented to person, place and time and shows as the best motor response: obeys commands. Work out the GCS and classify the head injury by it. Click your answer.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice chart records GCS 10, with E2 and V3. What motor score M was recorded, and which response does it describe? Give the number.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). The team aims for a mean arterial pressure of at least 60 mmHg. A patient’s systolic pressure is 92 mmHg. Using MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, what is the lowest diastolic pressure DBP that still gives a MAP of 60 mmHg?

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 85/min, a grimace when stimulated, limp limbs with no muscle tone and slow, irregular breathing with a weak cry. Score the APGAR and click how the score is interpreted.
