Measuring and Recording Blood Pressure



  1. The circulatory system and its components make up a __________ system.


    1. closed

    2. systolic

    3. constrictive

    4. open


  1. Which of the following correctly defines systolic blood pressure?


    1. The pressure in the circulatory system as blood enters the lungs.

    2. The pressure in the blood vessels as the heart is contracting.

    3. The pressure in the blood vessels between heartbeats.

    4. The pressure in the circulatory system as the heart relaxes.


  1. Measuring the blood pressure at the wrist using a sphygmomanometer will usually result in


    1. a more accurate blood pressure reading.

    2. a false-low reading.

    3. a higher blood pressure reading.

    4. a systolic measurement only.


  1. The name and location of the blood vessel usually used to measure blood pressure is


    1. the brachial artery.

    2. the carotid artery.

    3. the radial artery.

    4. the axillary artery.


  1. The normal blood pressure of a one year old patient is


    1. 120/80

    2. 107/69

    3. 65/50

    4. 100/55





  1. Which of the following conditions or factors may cause a patient to have an abnormally low blood pressure?


    1. Obesity

    2. Cocaine drug overdose

    3. An infection

    4. Male gender


  1. Hypertension in an adult is defined as a systolic blood pressure greater than ______.


    1. 140 mm Hg/90 mm Hg

    2. 107 mm Hg /69 mm Hg

    3. 150 mm Hg /100 mm Hg

    4. 160 mm Hg /110 mm Hg


  1. If a patient with a history of hypertension is complaining of blurred vision, chest pain, dizziness, or headache, the CNA should


    1. take the patient’s blood pressure and record it.

    2. report this immediately to the RN or immediate supervisor.

    3. make sure the patient has taken his or her medication and have the patient rest.

    4. do nothing since these are normal symptoms of a person with chronic hypertension.


  1. Hypotension in an adult is defined as a systolic blood pressure lower than ________.


    1. 100 mmHg

    2. 107 mmHg

    3. 75 mmHg

    4. 90 mmHg


  1. The most common causes of hypotension include


    1. a high-sodium diet.

    2. obstructive sleep apnea.

    3. thyroid problems.

    4. dehydration.
