blood pressure cuff placement
I'm new to this forum. Just have some general nursing procedure questions. Just admitted patient to home health, burned upper body including arms. When working in the OR we placed the bp cuff on the calf but it was hooked to monitor. Don't have a monitor in home health, where the heck do you listen for the pulse. Can feel it many places but just can't hear it. What am I doing wrong. Thanks! [/b]
