Caption:
This photograph was taken during a blood pressure (BP) screening exercise that was being conducted by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) nurses, in order to help employees monitor their blood pressure. In this particular view, a civilian employee, Mr. Ritesh Kothari, was seated opposite United States Public Health Service (USPHS), Cmdr. Amy Valderrama, while Cmdr. Valderrama had placed a BP cuff, or sphygmomanometer, around Mr. Kothari’s right upper arm, in order to obtain a blood pressure reading. Note the stethoscope the Commander was using to assist in recording the patient’s BP.
