Question: 1 / 400

Blood pressure is measured using a:

Thermometer

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the blood vessels. It is typically measured using a sphygmomanometer, which consists of an inflatable cuff, a measuring device, and a gauge for reading the results. This device is specifically designed for measuring blood pressure, unlike the other options listed. A thermometer is used for measuring body temperature, not blood pressure. A stethoscope is used to listen to a person's heartbeat, but cannot measure blood pressure on its own. A heart rate monitor is also not designed to measure blood pressure, but instead measures the number of heartbeats per minute.
