@Michael117american loose cuff = artificially elevated BP

The rn took my bp and the cuff was loose. My bp was 130/85, would a loose cuff increase the bp on a numbers standpoint, or would the number decrease, or possibly have no effect? I'm worried because she said it was high

This is very wrong. brachial artery is usually closer to the inside of the arm. around the bottom of the bicep.

He says bell of the stethoscope, but it should be the diaphragm.

The brachial artery isn't always in the center of the elbow crease. You should feel around the area with your index and middle fingers for a pulse. When you find the pulse, place the diaphragm (bell) on the site of the brachial artery.
