Question
Chapter 18.7, Problem 10CYU
Summary Introduction

Case summary:

The BP (blood pressure) of Cole is given as 140/80 mm Hg (millimeter of mercury), and the mean arterial pressure and pulse pressure are to be calculated.

Characters in the case:

The individual mentioned in the problem, Cole, has the systolic BP of 140 mm Hg and a diastolic pressure of 80 mm Hg.

Adequate information:

The mean arterial pressure and pulse pressure are to be calculated, when the systolic and diastolic pressures are given as 140 and 80 mm Hg, respectively.

To determine:

The mean arterial pressure and simultaneously the pulse pressure of Cole.
