I took a HESI exit exam after finishing medic school. We had an online portion of class from a web site called evolve, which is based off the "Paramedic Practice Today" by Aehlert. The test was kinda meh; I faired well (91%), but I don't believe the questions and structure of said questions...

I'll try to point us back on topic... how did both your diastolic readings compare? If both were close it'll give you a good indication of accuracy. Although a variation of ~20 mmHg is unlikely, many variables can skew a BP reading. All should be taken into consideration when trying to...
