Yes it can with an automatic b/p cuff however a blood pressure taken in the arm (assuming there are no problems like past stroke or dialysis shunts) is usually more accurate.

How do you measure blood presure?
How blood pressure is correctly measured?
with a pressure gauge
What are the units blood pressure is reported in?
Blood Pressure is measured and reported as a pressure in mm of mercury
Which chambers pressures are being indirectly measured when peripheral blood pressure is measured?
The pressure in the Atrias and then in the ventricles
Is blood pressure is a qualitative variable?
No,Blood pressure is a quantitative variable because it is measured in numbers
Why is blood pressure in a polysomnography monitored?

What type of blood pressure is measured when the left ventricle is contracting?
The systolic pressure.
In an orbiting space station would the blood pressure in major arteries in the leg ever be greater than the blood pressure in major arteries in neck?
yes the blood pressure in major arteries in the leg is greater than the blood pressure in arteries in neck during orbiting in an orbiting space station.
What is blood pressure measured with?
Usually, with the use of a device to measure blood pressure, called a sphygmomanometer. Measuring pressure invasively, by penetrating the arterial wall to take the measurement, is much less common and usually restricted to a hospital setting.
The peak blood pressure measured during ventricular systole is called?
Systolic Pressure
What is the medical term meaning highest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels?
The systolic pressure is the highest pressure measured against the walls of blood vessels.
