? For this reading, you measured Mrs. Downs’ blood pressure at 112/64. Patient Interview What if you had measured Mrs. Downs’ blood pressure at 162/94 and she proceeded to tell you she’s never had high blood pressure and had normal readings in the hospital. What should you do in such a situation? Select all that apply. Check that the cuff is not wrapped too loosely around her arm. Tell Mrs. Downs that her pressure is high because she’s anxious. Check the physician’s order for the next scheduled assessment. Report the reading to her physician. Reassure Mrs. Downs and help her relax. Check the size of the cuff. Administer Mrs. Downs’ medication to lower her pressure. Wait for 30 to 60 seconds and repeat the reading.
