It specifies communication approach, privacy and safety checks, correct positioning of the arm and cuff, stethoscope setup and cuff inflation/deflation targets, and accurate recording of systolic and diastolic readings. It also covers prerequisite precautions for transfers, including wheel and bed locks, client preparation, belt application, guided standing on cue, and post-skill hand hygiene.",{"@graph":63,"@context":118},[64,80,101],{"@type":65,"itemListElement":66},"BreadcrumbList",[67,71,74,77],{"item":68,"name":69,"@type":70,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":72,"name":10,"@type":70,"position":73},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",2,{"item":75,"name":51,"@type":70,"position":76},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/general/",3,{"item":78,"name":59,"@type":70,"position":79},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/nursing-assistant-skills-cheat-sheet-bp-measurement-and-patient-transfer/573903/",4,{"url":78,"name":59,"@type":81,"image":82,"author":87,"headline":59,"publisher":90,"fileFormat":93,"inLanguage":57,"description":61,"dateModified":94,"datePublished":95,"encodingFormat":93,"isAccessibleForFree":96,"interactionStatistic":97},"DigitalDocument",{"url":83,"@type":84,"width":85,"height":86},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/nursing-assistant-skills-cheat-sheet-bp-measurement-and-patient-transfer/573903.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":88,"@type":89},"BAd apple","Person",{"url":68,"name":91,"@type":92},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-15","2026-10-14",true,{"@type":98,"interactionType":99,"userInteractionCount":73},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":100},"ViewAction",{"@type":102,"mainEntity":103},"FAQPage",[104,110,114],{"name":105,"@type":106,"acceptedAnswer":107},"What communication and safety steps are required before measuring blood pressure?","Question",{"text":108,"@type":109},"Explain the procedure clearly, speak slowly and directly, and maintain face-to-face contact when possible.
