Normal blood pressure is 120/80. Which best describes the blood pressure reading?
The systolic pressure is 120, and the diastolic pressure is 80.
The diastolic pressure is 120, and the systolic pressure is 80.
Systolic pressure is measured when the blood flow resumes as the cuff deflates, so systolic pressure is always the lower number.
Diastolic pressure is measured when the blood flow resumes as the cuff deflates, so diastolic pressure is always the lower number.
