If a person has an arterial blood pressure of 125/75 mm Hg:
Ans. B. The mean arterial pressure is 92 mm HgBy convention, the first of the two numbers is the systolic pressure and the second is the diastolic pressure.Pulse pressure =125-75 mm Hg= 50 mm HgMean arterial pressure = Diastolic pressure + one third of pulse pressure= 75 mm Hg + 50 mm Hg/3= 92 mm Hg
The pulse pressure is 40 mm Hg
The mean arterial pressure is 92 mm Hg
Diastolic pressure is 80 mm Hg
Systolic pressure is 120 mm Hg
