how do you take the BP in this scenario?

Published

on a patient that has pain in both arms or has a blood clots in the arms? i have never taken a thigh blood pressure before.. how do you do it?

Specializes in med/surg, telemetry, IV therapy, mgmt.

i look at every thread on this (the nursing student assistance) forum every day. this thread wasn't here two days ago so i am assuming that it was moved here by the moderators.

i added loricatus' link (http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/471829 - measuring blood pressure in legs) to our sticky thread here that has weblinks on how to take blood pressures. that would be post #35 on https://allnurses.com/nursing-student-assistance/any-good-iv-127657.html - any good iv therapy or nursing procedure web sites.
