LESSON

Blood Pressure

The Blood Pressure lesson teaches learners how to recognise high, low and normal blood pressure readings and explains in detail systolic and diastolic pressure. The learner will develop correct skills for taking digital blood pressure reading and recording results in the NEWS2.

Learning Objectives

Accurately measure blood pressure using appropriate techniques, including automated devices.
Understand blood pressure readings and their significance in assessing cardiovascular health and perfusion.
Identify factors that can affect blood pressure measurements, such as patient position, cuff size, and emotional state.
Ensure accuracy in cuff placement, inflation, and deflation to obtain reliable blood pressure readings.
Interpret systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings within the context of the patient's age, medical history, and clinical condition.
