Hypertension Virtual LabProcedure and Data: Type in the following site or use the link from my website. Chapter 29, click on the Blood Pressure link under the Virtual Laboratory Exercises.?You have the directions on your handout so you can go directly to the Laboratory Exercise link.You will be working in groups of 4 people and will be divvying up the subjects. Write who is in charge of which group:Person #1 (Males and females 11-17): __________________________________Person #2 (Males and females 18-24): __________________________________Person #3 (Males and females 25-34): __________________________________Person #4 (Males and females 35-44): __________________________________Person #5 (Males and females 45-54): __________________________________Procedure:Click the Information tab on the top right of the page to read about blood pressure. Answer the following questions regarding blood pressure.Identify the name of the two pressure readings that are taken. Give a definition of each. What is it called when your blood pressure is too high? Too low?The left side of the page contains background information and instructions in the “Question” area. On the bottom of the page are the following icons for your use: “Journal” (we won’t be using this), “Calculator” (working calculator function), “Data Table” (where you will submit your collected data from the exercise), “Audio” (turns sound on/off) and “Print” (DO NOT USE). Read all of the information found under the “Question” area first. At this point, you are ready to begin the lab exercise. Select the gender and age range of the first group of ?patients you would like to test and select “Measure Blood Pressure”.Please place the blood pressure for each patient’s individual reading in Table I. Then, using the “Calculator” tool ?on the bottom of the laboratory page or your own calculator, please determine the AVERAGE systolic and diastolic pressure readings for your subjects. To do this, add up all of the systolic readings you obtained from your group and divide by 10; round your answer up to the nearest WHOLE number. Repeat this process using the diastolic readings. Place these values in the correct areas of Table I.By clicking on each patient in the group, you may also read their medical history chart. Make note of any reportable information (for example, if they are overweight or say “Yes” to any question on the medical chart.When you are through, click “reset”, select a new group of individuals to test and follow the instructions above. There will be 8 subject groups to be tested in all. ***Keep in mind that this is experimental data. Some people may have high blood pressure but are seemingly healthy. We are looking for patterns and some subjects, unfortunately, are not consistent with the overall trend.Table 1:Person #1Person #2Person #3Person #4Person #5Males11-18Females 11-18Males 18-24Females 18-24Males25-34Females 25-34Males35-44Females 35-44Males45-54Females45-54Subject #1S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:Subject #2S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:Subject #3S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:Subject #4S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:Subject #5S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:Subject #6S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:Subject #7S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:Subject #8S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:Subject #9S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:Subject #10S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:S:DI:Avg SystolicAvg DiastolicKey:S=Systolic PB D: Diastolic BP I: Key information about hypertensive patientsPost-Lab Discussion:3076575390525On the website, the labels for the x- and y- axes should be flipped.00On the website, the labels for the x- and y- axes should be flipped.4763069346312Graph the results for male systolic, male diastolic, female systolic, and female diastolic.

Your graph should have FOUR linesHypertension means:High blood sugar levels High blood cholesterol levels High blood pressure levels None of the aboveA sphygmomanometer:Measures blood pressure When inflated cuts off blood flow to the brachial veinShould be used in conjunction with a stethoscope to obtain an accurate BP reading. All of the above A and CIn measuring blood pressure:Diastolic pressure is measured as blood first reenters the artery Systolic pressure is measured when blood flow just returns to normal in the artery Blood pressure readings are noted as systolic over diastolic pressure All of the aboveBased on the laboratory activity, evidence shows that as a group:Males experience an increased systolic and diastolic pressure with ageMales experience a decreased systolic and diastolic pressure with age Males experience an increased systolic and decreased diastolic pressure with age Males experience a decreased systolic and increased diastolic pressure with age Males have relatively constant blood pressure with ageBased on the laboratory activity, evidence shows that as a group:Females experience a decreased systolic and diastolic pressure with ageFemales experience an increased systolic and diastolic pressure with age Females experience an increased systolic and decreased diastolic pressure with age Females experience a decreased systolic and increased diastolic pressure with age Females have relatively constant blood pressure with age On average for both sexes, normal blood pressure is typically defined as:140/60 130/95 120/80 145/80Based on the results of this exercise, which of the following blood pressure readings are significantly above normal, indicating hypertension?122/78 130/84 129/81 101/75Which of the following information from the medical charts appears to play the least role in determining blood pressure? Sex Height Weight Age None of the aboveWhich of the following appear to be lifestyle related risk factors for hypertension?Smoking Lack of exercise Salt intake A and B All of the aboveA patient comes in to have their blood pressure taken. They are a non-smoker, they exercise daily and consume a healthy diet low in sodium. Based upon this information:Their blood pressure will be normal Their blood pressure will indicate hypertension You cannot estimate their reading due to the effect of genetics on blood pressureWhat factors are known to cause increases in blood pressure?What was the general trend with blood pressure when the gender and age changed for each of the groups?Based on your experiment, what conclusion can you draw about the relationship of age and gender to group blood pressure averages?During the course of your experiment, did you obtain any blood pressure readings that were outside of the normal range for the group being tested? What did you notice on the medical charts for these individuals that might explain their high readings?Based on your observation, which risk factor do you think is most closely associated with hypertension?What effect might obesity have on blood pressure? Does obesity alone cause a person to be at risk for high blood pressure? What other factors, in combination with obesity, might increase a person's risk for high blood pressure? ................
