Product Overview
The BLOOD PRESSURE – NURSING FUNDAMENTAL CHART is a precision-designed educational tool for accurate blood pressure reference in clinical and academic settings. Constructed from high-quality laminated paper, this chart ensures durability against frequent handling, moisture, and wear, making it ideal for long-term use in hospitals, nursing schools, and home care environments. The clear, color-coded visuals provide an at-a-glance reference for systolic and diastolic ranges, categorized by standard medical classifications (normal, prehypertensive, hypertensive stages 1 & 2). Its compact yet detailed layout eliminates confusion during patient assessments or teaching demonstrations. The waterproof lamination prevents damage from spills or disinfectants, ensuring hygiene compliance in medical facilities. Unlike digital alternatives, this physical chart requires no power or calibration, offering reliable performance in any setting. Whether used for quick reference during rounds or as a teaching aid in labs, its standardized format aligns with global nursing protocols, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application without the need for electronic devices.
FAQs
1. Can this chart be used for both adult and pediatric blood pressure reference?
The chart primarily focuses on standard adult blood pressure ranges as per clinical guidelines. For pediatric references, specialized charts with age-specific percentiles are recommended.
2. Is the lamination glossy or matte finish?
The chart features a matte lamination to reduce glare under clinical lighting, ensuring readability without reflections during use.
3. Are the blood pressure categories updated as per the latest AHA guidelines?
Yes, the classifications align with the American Heart Association’s current thresholds for hypertension stages, including the 2017 updated definitions for elevated and stage 1 hypertension.
4. Can this chart be mounted on a wall or is it handheld only?
While designed as a handheld reference, the lightweight material includes pre-punched holes for optional wall mounting in exam rooms or classrooms using standard push pins or hooks.
5. Does the chart include pulse pressure calculations or only BP ranges?
The primary focus is on systolic/diastolic ranges and their clinical significance. Pulse pressure values are not explicitly detailed, though the layout allows for manual calculation by subtracting diastolic from systolic readings.
