a. First, have the students break up into teams of two, review the steps with each other, then practice taking BP a few times.

b. Bring the class back together and discuss the steps, review vocabulary, and ask probative questions about potential difficulties encountered.

c. Have the class number off as 1 and 2.

d. Begin with the first group of 1 and 2; coming to the front of the class, have 1 do a blood pressure exam of 2, then 2 of 1. Once done, class should constructively critique. Follow this with all the rest of the class.
