A REFLECTIVE ACCOUNT OF A LEARNT SIMULATED SKILL BLOOD PRESSURE. The aim of this essay is to reflect and discuss my knowledge acquired in a simulated learning skill experience which forms part of my training as a student nurse in accordance with the Nurses and Midwifery Council (NMC 2010). (Marieb and Hoehn‚ 2010‚ p 703) defined Blood Pressure (BP) as ‘the force per unit area exerted on a vessel wall by the contained blood‚ and is expressed in millimetres of mercury (mm Hg)’. BP is still one

session. Blood pressure may be one of the least complicated to monitor‚ yet possibly one with the highest probability to bring on complications if left untreated.

Written in the form of a fraction‚ the top number is the systolic pressure‚ and the bottom is the diastolic pressure. The systolic pressure is measuring the amount of pressure that

This experiment shows the biological principles‚ and how to record and produce data of a quality standard. Introduction: Air goes into the alveoli when we breathe in. This lets the veins around the alveoli drop of their carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen. The oxygenated blood travels around the body and drops of oxygen to cells and
