Mateo is a medical student learning to take a blood pressure reading. His instructor
shows him how to position the cuff on the patient's arm. He squeezes the bulb to
inflate the cuff. Mateo uses the stethoscope to listen for silence as the brachial artery
is blocked. Then he slowly releases the pressure on the cuff. Mateo begins to hear a
'whooshing' sound as the blood begins to flow through the artery. He makes a note
of the pressure at this point. It is 120. When the whooshing' sound ends, Mateo
takes note that the pressure is now at 76. How should Mateo report these results to
his instructor?
