What is the formula for calculating mean arterial blood pressure (MAP)?
What is the formula for calculating mean arterial blood pressure (MAP)?
- $MAP = SBP - DBP$
- $MAP = (1/3 SBP) + (2/3 DBP)$ (correct)
- $MAP = SBP + DBP$
- $MAP = (2/3 SBP) + (1/3 DBP)$

What is the pulse pressure when the systolic pressure is 120 mm Hg and the diastolic pressure is 80 mm Hg?
- 40 mm Hg (correct)
- 10 mm Hg
- 30 mm Hg
- 20 mm Hg

- Mean arterial blood pressure
- Diastolic pressure
- Pulse pressure
- Systolic pressure (correct)
