4. Remove any clothing on the upper arm to place the
cuff directly on the skin. Constriction of the upper
arm by clothing or a rolled-up sleeve, as shown at
right, may cause an inaccurate reading; remove any
constricting garments.
5. Sit down in a chair with back support
and place both feet on the oor.
6. Extend the arm from which the blood
pressure will be taken to the front or
side. Rest your hand, palm-up, on a

measurements. Your heart is located slightly to the right of your left
armpit.
