How to fill out blood pressure measurement training

2. Ensure the environment is quiet and comfortable for the person whose blood pressure is being measured.
3. Have the patient sit comfortably with their arm at heart level, legs uncrossed, and back supported.
4. Wrap the blood pressure cuff snugly around the upper arm, ensuring the lower edge is about one inch above the elbow.
5. Palpate the brachial artery to locate where to place the stethoscope.
6. Inflate the cuff to a pressure 20-30 mmHg above where the pulse disappears.
7. Gradually release the pressure while listening through the stethoscope for the first heartbeat (systolic pressure).
8. Continue to listen as the cuff deflates until the heartbeat sound disappears (diastolic pressure).
9. Record the values as systolic over diastolic (e.g., 120/80 mmHg).
10. Repeat the measurement at least twice for accuracy and calculate the average if necessary.
