Calculating Mean Arterial Pressure

A patient arrives at the emergency room with a diagnosis of hypovolemic shock. As a nurse, you need to monitor the patient's vital signs to assess hemodynamic stability. One vital sign to focus on is the mean arterial pressure (MAP). The formula to calculate MAP is:

MAP = (Systolic BP + 2 x Diastolic BP) / 3

For this patient, their blood pressure readings are as follows:

Systolic BP: 120 mmHg

Diastolic BP: 80 mmHg

Using the formula provided, fill in the blank for the patient's mean arterial pressure: MAP = (_______) mmHg
