Instructions for blood pressure measurement for the trainee
Blood pressure measurement is an everyday routine nursing task. Every nurse must be able to take a blood pressure reading and respond adequately to any changes.
Students of geriatric nursing should be trained as early as possible to independently recognize the necessity of blood pressure measurement, especially in emergency situations, and be enabled to perform it routinely. The learner should be gradually enabled to perform his or her professional duties independently.
Learners in learning processes are dependent on the cooperative collaboration of the practice instructor and the respective nursing team in practice.
Careful and competent explanation of all work processes, their theoretical significance and correct practical execution by the practice supervisor is of great importance.

1. Introduction
1.1 Importance of the instruction of blood pressure measurement for the trainee
Blood pressure measurement is an everyday routine work in nursing. Every nurse must be able to carry out a measurement of blood pressure and to be able to react adequately to any changes. Nursing students should be trained as early as possible to recognize the need for blood pressure measurement independently and especially in emergency situations and to be able to carry it out routinely. The student should gradually be enabled to carry out his professional tasks independently.
In practice, learners in learning processes are dependent on the cooperative cooperation of the practice leader and the respective nursing team. Of great importance is a careful and professionally competent explanation of all work processes, their theoretical significance and the correct practical execution by the practical instructor.
Decisive for positive learning outcomes are also the work organization in the respective institutions, the working atmosphere in the nursing team and the willingness of everyone to participate in the training to the best of their knowledge.
