How long should a person rest before re-measuring their blood pressure?

5 to 10 minutes
10 to 20 minutes
20 to 30 minutes
30 to 40 minutes

The correct answer is: 5 to 10 minutes

It is recommended to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before re-measuring your blood pressure. This is because it allows your body to relax and return to its baseline state, which can result in a more accurate reading. The other options are incorrect because resting for a longer period of time, such as 10 to 20, 20 to 30, or 30 to 40 minutes, may cause your blood pressure to decrease further and result in a reading that is lower than your actual blood pressure. It is also not necessary to rest for such a long period of time before re-measuring.
