Python has two built-in functions that work with inheritance: 1  Use isinstance() to check an instanceâs type: isinstance(obj, int) will be True only if obj.__class__ is int or some class derived from int. 2  Use issubclass() to check class inheritance: issubclass(bool, int) is True since bool is a subclass of int.
Measurement â  Begin routine blood pressure (BP) measurement at 3 years of age. â  Correct cuff size depends on arm size. Practically speaking,correct cuff size equals largest cuff that will fit on the upper arm with room below for the stethoscope head. â  BP should be measured in the right arm of a relaxed,seated child.
At age 73, is it really necessary? That was your initial reaction when your doctor said that your systolic blood pressure â the first number in a blood pressure reading â was high and needed to be lowered. Especially since your second number â your diastolic blood pressure â was in the normal range. There was a time when high blood pressure (hypertension) was ignored in older adults because it was thought to be a normal part of aging.
