Question

which of the following is a special consideration when taking blood pressure in adults? avoid using any cuff other than the standard adult cuff. always take the blood pressure in the arm that has an implant. wait 15 minutes before taking the blood pressure of a patient who has just exercised. do not take the blood pressure of a person who is anxious or upset. be aware that the blood pressure tends to be low in anxious patients. question 5 1 point when taking a blood pressure, there are five phases that are heard after the cuff is deflated. these phases are called ______. pulse pressure auscultated pressure korotkoff sounds diastolic pressure systolic pressure

Explanation:

For the first question, exercising can temporarily elevate blood - pressure, so waiting 15 minutes is a standard practice. Using only standard adult cuffs is incorrect as different arm sizes need different cuffs. Taking blood - pressure in an arm with an implant is wrong as it can affect readings. One can take blood - pressure of anxious patients, and anxiety usually raises rather than lowers blood - pressure. For the second question, the five phases heard when deflating the cuff during blood - pressure measurement are Korotkoff sounds. Pulse pressure is the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure. Auscultated pressure is a general term for pressure heard during auscultation. Diastolic and systolic pressures are specific pressure values, not the five - phase sounds.

Answer:

First question: Wait 15 minutes before taking the blood pressure of a patient who has just exercised.
Second question: Korotkoff sounds
