Question
If a person has a blood pressure of 120/90, his mean arterial pressure would be ________ mm Hg.Question 7Select one:a.210b.100c.93d.105e.90Clear my choice
Solution
The Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) is calculated using the formula: MAP = [Diastolic BP + 1/3 (Systolic BP - Diastolic BP)].
In this case, the person's blood pressure is 120/90. So,
MAP = [90 + 1/3 (120 - 90)] MAP = [90 + 1/3 * 30] MAP = [90 + 10] MAP = 100 mm Hg
So, the answer is b. 100.
