Does the Alabama BON have rules about that?

Really? This goes well with the thread about taking accurate BP's without a BP cuff.

Why would this be state specific? Would this not be patient or facility/physician protocol specific? I can guarantee the amount I can safely obtain from my 7yr old patient with urinary retention and abdominal distention is not the same as a 6'2" 200# 60 year old patient.

Sorry. I only know the answer for Kentucky.
