CNA use of bell?

[Chris NS]

as a CNA when you are taking B/P do you ever use the bell?

Although I never have used the bell for a BP, you can use it. You have to push down on it, but it can be done. The bell is really more for hearing low pitched sounds and is held lightly over certain areas of the body, normally listening for bruits.
