b. Bring the class back together and discuss the steps, review vocabulary, and ask probative questions about potential difficulties encountered.

c. Have the class number off as 1 and 2.

d. Begin with the first group of 1 and 2; coming to the front of the class, have 1 do a blood pressure exam of 2, then 2 of 1. Once done, class should constructively critique.Follow this with all the rest of the class.

e. Once done, have students think/pair/share and write a short 2-3 paragraph outline of what they learned and how this will be beneficial to their practice.
