A normal adult blood pressure measurement is:
Less than 120/80 mmHg
Less than or equal to 120/80 mmHg
Less than 130/90 mmHg
130/90 mmHg or less
The top number on a blood pressure measurement is (a) pressure and the bottom number is (b) pressure.

When the pulse is first heard
When the pulse is loudest
The last time the pulse is heard
When the needle on the gauge starts jumping along with the pulse
When is the diastolic pressure measured?
When the pulse is first heard
When the pulse is loudest
The last time the pulse is heard
When the needle on the gauge stops jumping with the pulse
When assessing blood pressure, the stethoscope bell is placed over the (a) artery.
