| Description: | Caption:
This image depicts a male nurse in the process of conducting a blood pressure examination upon a seated female patient in a clinical setting. The nurse was using a sphygmomanometer, consisting of a pressurized cuff encircling the patient’s right upper arm, and a monitor indicating changes in pressure within the cuff. The nurse was also using a stethoscope, listening for the sounds indicative of the high (systolic), and low (diastolic) pressure values, used to measure a patient’s blood pressure.
