This course:

• Reinforces your knowledge on guideline recommended BP measurement techniques

• Teaches 5 essential steps to accurately measure and record BP using a manual, semi-automated, or automated device

• Boosts competency and confidence in BP measurement readings across the care team

• Earns 0.5 Continuing Education (CE) credit
