Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C
Research has demonstrated that cuff selection with a bladder width that is 40 of the arm circumference will usually have a bladder length that is 80 to 100 of the upper arm circumference. This size cuff will most accurately reflect measured radial artery pressure. The name of the cuff is a representative size that may not be suitable for any individual child. Choosing a cuff by limb circumference more accurately reflects arterial pressure than choosing a cuff by length.
