Continue the blood pressure assessment until the last Korotkoff sound is heard.

Reposition the stethoscope in the antecubital fossa over the palpable brachial pulse point.

Inflate the cuff quickly to a higher mm Hg reading than the previously auscultated systolic sound.

Release the air and reinflate the cuff to 30 mm Hg above the client's previous systolic reading.
