I. Professional reference

According to the [NAME] Advantage for Basic Nursing handbook, third edition, retrieved on 6/17/24 from Treas, [NAME] S., et al. [NAME] Advantage for Basic Nursing: Thinking, Doing, and Caring. F. A. [NAME] Company, 2022., Blood Pressure - Practical Knowledge,

Electronic blood pressure monitors may be less accurate than those with an aneroid monitor (a manual blood pressure measuring device). To ensure accuracy, you should auscultate (listen to) a baseline blood pressure

before initiating automatic monitoring.

Ensure devices are rated for medical use.

The width of the blood pressure cuff bladder of a properly fitting cuff will cover approximately two-thirds of the length of the upper arm for an adult, and the entire upper arm for a child.

Alternative sites you can use are the forearm, thigh, or calf. However, systolic pressure may be 20 to 30 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) higher in the lower extremities than in the arms, but diastolic pressures are similar.

Abnormally high or low blood pressure readings should be rechecked by the provider.

According to Medaval Certified Accuracy (a company that provides accreditation, validation and equivalence services for medical devices) Equate 4000 series (UA-4000WM, retrieved on 6/20/24 from https://www. medaval.ie/resources/EN/devices/Equate-4000-Series-UA-4000WM.html,

The Equate 4000 Series (UA-4000WM) is an automatic blood pressure monitor. Medaval has not found evidence proving the accuracy of its blood pressure measurement technology. Blood pressure measurements are taken from the upper arm. It is intended for self-measurement and home use.

II. Observations

On 6/6/24 at 9:48 a.m., licensed practical nurse (LPN) #5 was observed using an Equate model VA-4000WM blood pressure cuff to take Resident #166's blood pressure.

-LPN #5 did not use a blood pressure cuff rated for medical use to obtain Resident #166's blood pressure (see professional references above and interview below).
