Direction: Arrange the following steps in chronological order. Write A for the first step, B for the second and so on.
1. Press the stethoscope's bell lightly over the brachial artery which is below the cuff's edge.
2. Wrap the cuff around the upper arm such that the lower edge of the cuff is one inch above the antecubital fossa.
3. Monitor the first knocking sound by listening with the help of a stethoscope and also by observing the mercury gauge
4. Release the air from the cuff at a moderate rate to 180mmHg.
5. This should be done for both the arms and the pressure; the position of the subject and the size of the cuff should be recorded.
6. If the pressure is more, then the blood pressure should be measured with few minutes' gaps between the two measurements.
7. If the blood pressure is more than 180/120mmHg, immediate actions should be taken​
