Q.1. Arm cuff held at the level of heart because
* Blood pressure should measure the pressure of blood coming out of the
heart.if the cuff is below the level of heart then the measured pressure will
be pressure from the pumping of the heart plus the pressure due to the
height of blood above the cuff the reading will be too high likewise if the
cuff is above heart level then the reported pressure measurement will be
too low.

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...

Blood pressure is normally taken on the upper arm at the level of the heart. Suppose, however, that a patient has his arms in a cast, so you cannot take his blood pressure in the usual way. If you have him stand up and take the blood pressure at his calf, which is 85.5 cm below his heart, what would be the magnitude of the difference between this measurement of blood pressure and a normal blood-pressure measurement? The density of...

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....

introduction Blood pressure measurements are always expressed by two numbers, the systolic pressure over the diastolic pressure. The blood pressure cuff is inflated until the air pressure within the cuff exceeds the blood pressure in the artery in the arm. This causes the artery to collapse, temporarily shutting down the flow of blood. Then, pressure in the cuff is slowly reduced until air pressure in the cuff becomes less than pressure in the artery, allowing blood to...

Question 5 [10 points] A doctor at a walk-in clinic is studying high blood pressure among patients of the ages twenty to forty. According to the American Heart Association, a person has high blood pressure if their Systolic and Diastolic readings are above 130 and 39 respectively. A random sample of 10 patients revealed the following blood pressures, where the readings (x,y) correspond to (Systolic Diastolic blood pressures (179,109) (180,120) (11970) (130,85) (159,90) (110,79) (180,120) (119,70) (110,79) (159,90) Assume that...

CASE #1 A 59-year-old man with type 2 diabetes presents with concerns about high blood pressure (BP). At a recent visit to his dentist he was told his BP was high. He was reclining in the dentist's chair when his BP was taken, but he doesn't remember the exact reading. He has no symptoms. He has never taken medications for high BP. He takes metformin for type 2 diabetes. His BP is measured once at 146/95 mm Hg in...
