What two things need to be recorded after measuring blood pressure?

Answer
A
rate measurement and rhythm measurement
B
character measurement and volume measurement
C
systolic measurement and diastolic measurement
D
Fahrenheit measurement and Centigrade measurement

Explanation

Blood pressure is recorded using two values: systolic pressure, the pressure when the heart contracts, and diastolic pressure, the pressure when the heart relaxes between beats. These are usually written as systolic over diastolic, such as 120/80 mmHg. Therefore, the correct choice is systolic measurement and diastolic measurement.
