    To accurately measure blood pressure, patients should follow the 5 R's: rest for 5 minutes before taking a reading, refrain from talking during resting and measurement, remove any upper arm clothing, rest the arm on a supported surface at heart level with the cuff, and rest feet flat on the floor in a seated position. The goal is to take two blood pressure readings one minute apart, with the goal blood pressure being less than 130/80.
