|Prompt=A 52 year old male patient presents to the physician's office complaining of headache and blurry vision. His past medical history is insignificant. The physician suspects the patient's blood pressure is elevated. In the clinic, the patient's blood pressure measures 150/70 mmHg in the right arm in sitting position. His other vital signs are as follows: Temperature 36.8 degrees C (98.2 degrees F), heart rate is 80 bpm, and respiratory rate is 14/min. What is the patient's approximate mean blood pressure?

His other vital signs are as follows: Temperature 36.8 degrees C (98.2 degrees F), heart rate is 80 bpm, and respiratory rate is 14/min. What is the patient's approximate mean blood pressure?
|Explanation=The patient's mean blood pressure is measured as [SBP + 2DBP]/3, where SBP is the systolic blood pressure and DBP is the diastolic blood pressure. Accordingly, the patient's mean blood pressure (MBP) is [150 + (2x70)]/3 = [150+140]/3 = 97mmHg.
