Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using a blood pressure cuff that is too narrow for the patient's upper arm, wrapping the cuff too loosely, reinflating the cuff before it completely deflates, and positioning the patients arm above the level of the heart all result in readings that are falsely high. Deflating the blood pressure cuff too rapidly causes the blood pressure reading to be falsely low.
