Question

What is a finger pulse transducer, together with a sphygmomanometer, capable of determining? 2 pts O Both systolic and diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure is indicated by the first detection of a finger pulse, and diastolic pressure is indicated by the disappearance of a finger pulse O Neither systolic or diastolic pressure. The auscultation method is the only way to determine systolic and O Only diastolic pressure. The finger pulse transducer is only sensitive to a limited range of pressures, and O Only systolic pressure. Systolic pressure is indicated by the first detection of a finger pulse, whereas diastolic diastolic pressure. systolic pressure lies above this range. pressure can only be determined using the auscultation method

Explanation / Answer

The answer is

Only systolic pressure. Systolic pressure is indicated by the first detection of a finger pulse, whereas diastolic pressure can only be determined using the auscultation method.
