distress
Ethel required her blood pressure taken.
I asked her for consent by first explaining the procedure
Using the correct blood pressure cuff i used the "dinamap" to undertake the procedure.
i said when the procedure was going to start.
I noticed that as soon the cuff started to inflate, ethel started to become distressed. i had explained that the tightness was part of the procedure and this was something that was transitory. I held her hand while the procedure was going on. She agreed for the procedure to continue.
When the procedure was completed, i notice that the reading was outside normal limits (164/104). Imediately, informed the Denise the Registered Nurse.
She asked me to repeat the blood pressure but
