Questions and instructions

Question pretext
First I would like to measure your blood pressure and pulse rate. Stay seated, and once I put this on your wrist,keep it steady and at the level of your heart. We will need to take the blood pressure reading three times. It will squeeze your wrist a bit, but won't hurt. Relax.
Literal question
