Give this one a try later!
, -when to measure
-size of cuff pediatric, regular, extra large
-site selection
-avoid arm with IV, cast, dialysis access site

-position: sitting, lying down
NA responsibilies during discharge
Give this one a try later!

systolic vs diastolic
Give this one a try later!
Systolic: The force when the heart is contracted (working)
Diastolic: The force when the heart is relaxed (resting)
Hypertension
Give this one a try later!
, BP measurments that remain above systolic of 140 MMHG or a diastolic
pressure of 90 MMHG
Changes with the Cardiovascular System
Give this one a try later!
-heart pumps less efficiently
-heart cannot accomodate to meet increased need
-Arteries less elastic
-BP may increase
apnea
Give this one a try later!
absence of breathing
What Factors affect temperature?
