Question
Chapter 18.7, Problem 10CYU
Summary Introduction
Case summary:
The BP (blood pressure) of Cole is given as 140/80 mm Hg (millimeter of mercury), and the mean arterial pressure and pulse pressure are to be calculated.
Characters in the case:
The individual mentioned in the problem, Cole, has the systolic BP of 140 mm Hg and a diastolic pressure of 80 mm Hg.
Adequate information:
The mean arterial pressure and pulse pressure are to be calculated, when the systolic and diastolic pressures are given as 140 and 80 mm Hg, respectively.
To determine:
The mean arterial pressure and simultaneously the pulse pressure of Cole.
