Your cousin’s pulse seems high to your aunt. You grab your sphygmomanometer and head over to your aunt’s house. When you take your cousin’s pulse, it is 135 bpm. You tell your aunt that this is considered normal. Your aunt is so relieved that she gives you a big hug. She then states that she was so nervous that her heart rate is probably elevated! Just to be sure, you check your aunt’s heart rate as well, using the radial pulse. After you take your aunt’s pulse, she asks you to take her blood pressure. You inform her that you will take her blood pressure on her right arm and you inform her that she should never let anyone take it on her left arm. Which of the following led you to make this decision?
