The Glasgow Coma Scale score will be documented; the deeper the coma, the lower the score. Please appreciate that a person with a normal Glasgow Coma Scale of 15 may still have altered mental status.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In mathematics, a base or radix is the number of different digits or combination of digits and letters that a system of counting uses to represent numbers. For example, the most common base used today is the decimal system. Because dec means 10, it uses the 10 digits from 0 to 9.
Base (chemistry) A base is a substance that can accept a hydrogen ion (H+) from another substance. A chemical can accept a proton if it has a negative charge, or if the molecule has an electronegative atom like oxygen, nitrogen, or chlorine that is rich in electrons. Like acids, some bases are strong and others are weak. The weak bases are less likely to accept protons, while the strong bases quickly take protons in solution or from other molecules. An acid is a base's chemical opposite. An acid is a substance that will donate a hydrogen atom to the base. Bases have a pH greater than 7.0. Weak bases generally have a pH value of 7â9 while strong bases have a pH value of 9â14.
