15996SBPDBPmmHgPP = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 159/96 mmHg. Find the pulse pressure PP.

PP = mmHg
2.Easy
A? / 2+P? / 2+G? / 2+A? / 2+R? / 2Σ?

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 60/min, no response to stimulation, limp limbs with no muscle tone and no breathing. What is the APGAR score?

3.Medium
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: no impairment; moisture: very moist; activity: walks occasionally; mobility: no limitation; nutrition: very poor; friction and shear: potential problem. Find the Braden total B.

E3 / 4+V4 / 5+M? / 6GCS 11?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice chart records GCS 11, with E3 and V4. What motor score M was recorded, and which response does it describe? Give the number.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient is assessed with the Braden scale: sensory perception: completely limited; moisture: occasionally moist; activity: chairfast; mobility: no limitation; nutrition: probably inadequate; friction and shear: potential problem. Use the bands 19–23 not at risk, 15–18 mild, 13–14 moderate, 10–12 high and 9 or below very high. Click the risk level.
