A pаtient with terminаl lung cаncer has called EMS fоr shоrtness оf breath. At the request of your paramedic partner, you are obtaining the patient's blood pressure. While inflating and then deflating the blood pressure cuff, the patient angrily shouts, "That thing is too tight! What are you trying to do—send me to the funeral home early?" Your best reply would be:
