a. Identify situations when a blood pressure would not be measured on a client’s arm or leg. b. State the rationale for the following nursing actions: place client’s arm at heart level, palm up palpate the brachial artery. Position cuff 2.5 cm above the brachial pulse. Center cuff above artery after inflating the cuff to find point at which brachial pulse disappears, wait 30 seconds before re-inflating the cuff inflate cuff to 30 mm Hg above palpated systolic pressure c....

Question 1 (10 points) When the blood pressure is measured, why must the arm cuff be held at the level of the heart? Blood pressure should measure the pressure of the blood coming out of the heart. If the cuff is below the level of the heart, then the measured pressure will be the pressure from the pumping of the heart minus the pressure due to the height of blood above the cuff. This reading will be too low. Likewise,...

O Reported blood pressures are typically assumed 115/73 to be the blood pressure at the level of the heart. Imagine a doctor measured the blood pressure of a patient to be 115/73 mm Hg, when his arm is outstretched and the cuff is placed at the heart level, as shown in Figure A. If instead the patient's arm were at his side and the cuff were 15 cm below heart level, as in Figure B, what blood pressure would the...

When subjects were treated with a drug, their systolic blood pressure readings (in mm Hg) were measured before and after the drug was taken. Results are given in the table below. Assume that the paired sample data is a simple random sample and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Using a 0.05 significance level, is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the drug is effective in lowering systolic blood pressure? Before: 188, 210, 157,...
