By Lisa Stern, MSN, WHNP-BC, ANP-BC, MA; Havian Sterile, MSN, FNP-BC; Debbie Nguyen, RN, MSN/FNP(c); Susan Moskosky, MS, WHNP; and Jamie Hart, PhD, MPH

This includes self-determining and achieving their reproductive goals. Government policy, healthcare systems, and other structures must value and support everyone fairly and justly. . .

From the Reproductive Health National Training CenterAccurate Measurement of Blood Pressure in a Reproductive Health Setting VideoAccurate measurement of blood pressure is important because small inaccuracies caused by using incorrect measurement techniques can lead to underdiagnosing and inadequate treatment of hypertension, or overdiagnosing and exposing clients to unnecessary stress, medications, and expenses. This 3-minute video and the accompanying knowledge check and observation checklist can be used to ensure clinical staff who measure blood pressure have the knowledge and skills to accurately measure a client’s blood pressure. Watch the video.
