Performing a blood pressure measurement

Script from the year 2009 in the subject Health - Nursing Science - Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: Instructions for blood pressure measurement for the trainee Blood pressure measurement is an everyday routine nursing task. Every nurse must be able to take a blood pressure reading and respond adequately to any changes. Students of geriatric nursing should be trained as early as possible to independently recognize the necessity of blood pressure measurement, especially in emergency situations, and be enabled to perform it routinely. The learner should be gradually enabled to perform his or her professional duties independently. Learners in learning processes are dependent on the cooperative collaboration of the practice instructor and the respective nursing team in practice. Careful and competent explanation of all work processes, their theoretical significance and correct practical execution by the practice supervisor is of great importance.
