For typing the B.P. Apparatus cuff while measuring blood pressure, it should be placed-

Correct option is C

Sol. The blood pressure cuff should be placed 3 cm above the elbow with the tubing placed medially to get an accurate reading. This positioning helps to avoid interference with veins and provides optimal conditions for measurement.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) 1 cm above the elbow – This placement is too low for an accurate blood pressure measurement, and can lead to incorrect readings.
· (b) 3 cm above the elbow with tubing placed at posterior – This is incorrect because the tubing should be placed medially, not at the posterior, to avoid interfering with veins.
· (c) 3 cm above the elbow with tubing placed medially – Correct answer. This is the proper placement for accurate blood pressure measurement.
· (d) 2 cm above the elbow – This placement is too close to the elbow joint, which may lead to inaccurate readings.
