Can You Say "Sphygmomanometer" ?

When your parents ask you what you learned today, say you took someone's blood pressure with a stethascope and a "sfing-moh-man-nom-meter".

We will practice vital signs again tomorrow. Please take your resting heart rate tomorrow morning and tell me what it was. Don't get out of bed, find your carotid pulse when you wake up and count for 60 seconds. Is this pulse rate different from your pulse rate you have in the middle of the day?

See you tomorrow!
