Answer to Question 1

two thirds

No matter the age of the patient, for the blood pressure cuff to provide an accurate reading it should cover two thirds of the upper arm. A smaller cuff will give an inaccurately high reading and a larger cuff will give an inaccurately low reading.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
The means by which the child is transported within the unit and to other parts of the hospital depends on age, level of consciousness, and how far the child must travel.
