Feedback

Korotkoff sounds are used to determine systolic and diastolic blood pressure when using a manual sphygmomanometer and stethoscope. Reference: Perry, A. G., et al. (2017). Clinical Nursing Skills and Techniques. Elsevier.

The first tapping sound heard through the stethoscope is the systolic pressure — the highest arterial pressure during heart contraction. Reference: Berman, A. et al. (2020). Skills in Clinical Nursing. Pearson.

The disappearance (phase V) of Korotkoff sounds represents the diastolic pressure — the lowest arterial pressure during heart relaxation. Reference: Potter, P. A., & Perry, A. G. (2017). Fundamentals of Nursing. Elsevier.

Rationale: The tapping sound in phase I is the first audible sound, representing the systolic pressure. Reference: Kee, J. L., & Marshall, S. M. (2009). Clinical Calculations. Mosby. ________________________________________

Rationale: Phase IV is characterized by muffled, soft sounds, and often considered just before the final diastolic point (Phase V). Reference: Taylor, C., et al. (2019). Fundamentals of Nursing: The Art and Science of Person-Centered Care. Wolters Kluwer. ________________________________________

A stethoscope is needed to auscultate (listen to) Korotkoff sounds over the brachial artery. Reference: Perry, A. G., et al. (2017). Clinical Nursing Skills and Techniques. Elsevier. ________________________________________

Rationale: The stethoscope is placed over the brachial artery in the antecubital fossa to hear Korotkoff sounds. Reference: Potter, P. A., & Perry, A. G. (2017). Fundamentals of Nursing. Elsevier. ________________________________________

Rationale: Korotkoff sounds are caused by turbulent blood flow in the brachial artery as cuff pressure is released. Reference: Berman, A. et al. (2020). Skills in Clinical Nursing. Pearson. ________________________________________

Rationale: Phase IV (muffling) may be difficult to detect or absent in children and pregnant women, where Phase V (disappearance) is used instead. Reference: Lynn, P. (2018). Taylor's Clinical Nursing Skills. Wolters Kluwer.

Rationale: Deflating the cuff too quickly may cause missing or inaccurate identification of systolic or diastolic sounds. Reference: Potter, P. A., & Perry, A. G. (2017). Fundamentals of Nursing. Elsevier.
