Gesture & etiquette
Approach from the front and make eye contact before beginning. Handle the cuff gently. Keep a calm, matter-of-fact expression. After completing: '終わりました、ありがとうございました' (All done, thank you). Share results in plain terms without alarming language.
Announcing a procedure before touching the senior reduces startle responses and builds trust. Always ask permission before touching even for routine measurements. Explain what you're doing ('taking your blood pressure') and what they need to do ('keep your arm still') in simple, sequential steps.
