Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The blood pressure cuff should be applied directly to the bare upper arm, over the brachial artery, to ensure accurate readings. Clothing can interfere with the cuff's ability to pressurize the artery and sense accurate readings. Placing the cuff over the radial artery, on the wrist, or under the brachial artery can also lead to inaccurate readings.
