A

The blood pressure at the patient's feet is less than 190 mm of Hg

B

The actual pressure is about 0.25 times the atmospheric pressure

C

The blood pressure at the patient's neck is more than 190 mm of Hg

D

The actual pressure is about 1.25 times the atmospheric pressure

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Blood pressure is gauge pressure = 190 mm Hg
Atmosphere pressure = 760 mm Hg
Actual pressure = 190+760 mm Hg
= 950 mm Hg
