How can i explain the procedure of taking someones blood pressure?

Question

I have an assesment on taking blood pressure. What information will i need to give them as i talk them through what i am doing. It has to be basic to moderate as i dont want them to be confused

Answer 1

.
The cuff of sphygmo manometer is tied around the upper arm. The instrument is kept at the same level as the heart.The cuff is being inflated while I keep my fingers on the wrist of the examinee.I inflate till I cease to feel the pulse. The reading roughly is the systolic pressure ie the pressure that just blocks the pulse.
Now I deflate the cuff.
I use my stethescope now. I keep the diaphragm of the steth on the cubital fossa just on the brachial artery.Now I Inflate the cuff till the pressure just exceeds systolic pressure and hear the sounds
.

I deflate the cuff very slowly. When I hear the sounds first, that is the systolic pressure reading. When I cease to hear the sounds first on further deflation that reading is the diastolic pressure

Answer 2

How about----I need to take your blood pressure. First, I will wrap the cuff around your upper arm, place my stethoscope on the inside of your elbow and inflate the cuff and then let the air out. When I hear the first heart beat That is systolic and the last beat I hear is dyastolic.
