🩺HOW TO TAKE A BLOOD PRESSURE 🩺| episode three - nursing 101

Hey everyone! Join me today as we learn how to take a manual and automatic blood pressure. This skill is fundamental to nursing practice and was crucial for placements where we took vitals twice every shift, so I hope that it will be helpful and informative to you! This video is part of my nursing 101 series.

Today's video is going to cover
Blood pressure vocabulary
Factors affecting hypertension and hypotension
How to take a manual blood pressure - two step method
How to take a manual blood pressure - one step method
How to take an automatic blood pressure

A big thank you to my Dad who kindly volunteered to be my guinea pig for today's video xx
