Which of the following are true regarding blood pressure? Select all that apply. - Blood pressure should be taken when standing at the level of the heart. - Diastole is the number on top; Systole is the number on bottom. - Systole is the number on top; Diastole is the number on bottom. - BP 140/60 is normal. - BP is the force exerted against the walls of the vessel.

You wish to determine the blood pressure at the top of a patient's head while they are standing. You measure the blood pressure in the patient's arm at the level of the heart and find that the systolic pressure is 120 mm Hg and the diastolic pressure is 80 mm Hg (760 mm Hg = 101 kPa). a) Blood pressure is usually measured with a pressure cuff around the arm at the level of the heart while the patient is sitting upright. Explain why this is good practice. b) What would be the diastolic pressure (in SI units) at the top of the patient's head, 50 cm above the measurement point? Assume a blood density of 1060 kg/m3. c) State whether this is a gauge pressure or an absolute pressure and explain your answer.
