pressure."
4. "How is the client doing this morning? Let me look at yesterday's blood
pressure report."

laboratory reports? I'll record the blood pressure," is an example of doing. "How is the
client doing this morning? Let me look at yesterday's blood pressure report," is an
example of supervision.
