IV. Lesson Proper

Activity

(A)
 Divide the class into six groups.
 Each group will have to identify the correct sequence of
procedures in taking blood pressure based on the video clip.
 Scrambled procedures in taking blood pressure will be posted
in front.
 Every group will have to arrange the procedures in sequential
manner, number it from 1- 13.
 Every group will have to write their answer in a ¼ sheet of
paper.
 At the back of the paper, write the group number and the names
of the members.
 The groups will be given 7 minutes to finish the activity.
 Collect and exchange the paper among the six groups.
 Each group will have to check the work of the other group.

(B)
 Demonstration on the procedures in taking blood pressure.

Analysis

 Why do we need to follow the proper procedures in taking blood

pressure?
Abstraction
 What is the normal blood pressure range?
 What is the importance of gaining skills on how to properly take blood
pressure?

Application
Return Demonstration
 With the same group, choose two representatives.
 The representatives will demonstrate how to take blood pressure,
following the proper procedures.
V. EVALUATION

Direction: Arrange the procedures in sequential manner, number it from 1-13.

Write your answer in a ¼ sheet of paper. (Answer only)

_____A. Sanitize the earpieces of the stethoscope with an antiseptic

pad.
_____B. Wrap the cuff around your client’s arm above the elbow, not too
tight or too loose.
_____C. Wash your hands and prepare the equipment you will use.
_____D. Ask client to rest quietly
_____E. Place the stethoscope earpieces into your ears and place the
diaphragm on the brachial pulse.
_____F. Introduce yourself and let the patient know the procedure to be done.
_____G. Continue releasing the air from the cuff. When you hear the
sounds change to something softer and faster and disappear,
take note of the calibration. This is now the diastolic pressure.
_____H. Find your client’s brachial pulse at the inside of the elbow. Hold the
diaphragm there and inflate the cuff until the pulse disappears.
Take note of the reading and immediately deflate the cuff.
_____I. Deflate the cuff completely and remove it from the arm of your client
and record the reading on the client’s chart.
_____J. Wipe the ear pieces of the stethoscope with an antiseptic pad and
place the equipment back to their proper place and wash your
hands.
_____K. Turn the screw to open it let the air escape slowly until the pulse
comes back. Take note of the calibration that the pointer passes
as you hear the first sound. This indicates the systolic pressure.
_____L. Expose the arm of your client by rolling the sleeves up, and
have your clients arm from the elbow down to rest fully extended
on the arm of the chair.
_____M. Turn the screw to close it. Inflate the cuff until the dial points to
30mm above the palpated systolic pressure.

VI. ASSIGNMENT
Direction: Copy the questions and answer briefly. Write your answer in a ½
sheet of paper. This will be submitted next meeting.

As a future caregiver:

A. What is the importance of gaining skills on how to properly take blood

pressure?

B. Why we must properly take the Blood Pressure?
