Just a trick that I like to use is to ask the patient "so, is there any side you'd prefer that I take your blood pressure on?". It just kind of helps me cover my basis if I forget to ask about any dialysis shunts or mastectomies. It actually saved me when doing an IV about a month ago when I asked this elderly woman "is there any side that you would prefer me to get your IV on?" and she told me "the right arm please, I had a mastectomy on the left".
