    In the picture, a peer is practicing taking vital signs by taking a blood pressure reading. To take vital signs properly, one must wash their hands, put on gloves, gather equipment like a stethoscope and blood pressure cuff, introduce themselves to the patient, and explain each procedure. The peer is shown taking the blood pressure of the author by placing the cuff two inches above the brachial artery with the arrow facing down and listening with a stethoscope under the cuff to determine the systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings.
