How to Take Your Blood Pressure
4. As you slide the cuff on,
position the cuff so that it is
on your upper arm and the
bottom of the cuff is about 1
inch above the elbow
crease; make sure that the
air hose dangles on the
inside of your arm.
WARNING:
Do not allow the air hose to kink or twist while you are
taking your blood pressure.
5. Pull on the cuff end to tight-
en it, and fold the cuff end
back over the metal D-ring.
