blood pressure (SBP). Despite the existence of a potential auscultatory gap, where an underestimation of SBP can occur, crosschecking with the palpation method can eliminate this potential error. The palpation method as well is also subjected to many sources of error, such as strength of the pulse, location etc., and it requires the cuff to be more deflated, giving a lower systolic pressure reading, making it only a good estimate. 2. The common physiological determinants for pulse pressure,…

High blood pressure is from when there is “long-term force of the blood against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause health problems”, (Mayo clinic, 2015). This disease is found by the amount of blood that the heart is pumping and the flow that the blood has to the arteries. When the heart has to pump more blood to the heart, then the arteries narrow and this can cause…

the Emergency Department to our unit. Upon our arrival back to SINU, we transferred the patient from the stretcher to the bed, performed a bed bath, and changed the patient’s gown. My preceptor hung two units of blood and once this patient’s blood pressure elevated from a systolic in the 50’s to the 100’s, the charge nurse and I accompanied the patient to nuclear medicine for a GI bleed scan.…

“Could you take her blood pressure for me?” said the nurse as I approached the patient’s door. I grabbed my sphygmomanometer and quickly approached the bed. After the formal introduction, the patient gave me her arm and I began the process. I placed the sphygmomanometer around her arm and then lined up the diaphragm of the stethoscope with her brachial artery. Her systolic blood pressure was a little high, 128 mmHg; however, her diastolic blood pressure was normal, 82 mmHg. After giving the…
