NMC OSCE GCS - Neurological chart plotting

[@szewahcheung6864]

For 'Blood pressure and pulse rate', should we plot eg. 125bpm above or inside of the '120' box? Coz the numbers are now inside a box instead of exactly at a line, or with a range like '120-130' as shown on the NEWS chart. I'm a bit confused! Thanks!!

Glad you enjoyed it

what if both having weakness the same mild weakness? so plot with dot? for mild weakness?

[@oscenursetrainingcambridge3851]

yes

[@chernobah7499]

In a neuro patient, will we have to do both NEWS2 and GCS?

[@oscenursetrainingcambridge3851]

Just GCS

Hi, what if their vitals are out of range i.e. Low BP, there is no yellow/red zone as per NEWS2 - how is it escalated on a GCS chart?

[@oscenursetrainingcambridge3851]

You will verbalise that you will escalate to medical team.

[@rachelleung6362]

Should we plot a (x) or a dot (as aligned with the dots being plotted in GCS) for the temperature?

[@oscenursetrainingcambridge3851]

Both are okay as long as in correct box

[@rachelleung6362]

@@oscenursetrainingcambridge3851 Thank you!

[@chiemezierachael4931]

Is it appropriate to fill the chart as i check the vitals or after i have completed the vitals check?

[@oscenursetrainingcambridge3851]

Both fine as long as its correct.

[@zeq2241]

great explanation, do we still have to carry on a full a to e assessment if we have a neurological patient or just fill the chart and verbalise what is in there?

[@oscenursetrainingcambridge3851]

Yes

Hi do we definitely plot the respirations as a number and not a dot in other examples it says a dot would it be a fail if you plotted a dot instead of writing the number thank you

[@oscenursetrainingcambridge3851]

It is as a number in new GCS Chart
