Resting heart rate was measured by palpation of the radial artery, and blood pressure was auscultated at the brachial artery and measured with a mercury sphygmomanometer. They should consider the patient's age, pathology, and posture as well as the lung volume and inspiratory flow rate when the lung sounds were auscultated.
