Game Plan

 * Introduction** – Health Care Science students will be given lab training on the proper procedures of taking a blood pressure reading. This is a hands-on exercise performed in the classroom by each student. The instructor will observe and evaluate each student based on proper medical guidelines for taking accurate blood pressure readings.


 * Prerequisites** – Students need to be enrolled in the Health Care Science Class


 * Collaboration** – Students will be placed in groups of three so that they can monitor each others blood pressure to practice proper procedures and document results and factors that affect their results.


 * Evaluation**- Students will be evaluated using a Teaching Stethoscope which allows the teacher and student to monitor simultaneously.
