To take someone's blood pressure you will need a blood pressure cuff and stethoscope. Have the person place their arm on a table, with their feet flat on the floor. Put the blood pressure cuff around their arm, snug but not tight, about an inch above the bend of the elbow. Place the stethoscope in the center of the bend of the elbow, tighten the knob on the pump, then inflate the cuff to around 180. Loosen the knob slightly in order to slowly release the air from the cuff and listen carefully. When you begin to hear the heartbeat through the stethoscope, that is the systolic blood pressure. When you cease to hear the heartbeat, that is the diastolic blood pressure.

How do you take someones blood pressure if they have no arms or legs?
It depends on the situation. Blood pressure can be measured on legs, not just arms. Often blood pressure is not measured routinely in patients where is it contraindicated (e.g. lymphadenectomy). In a critical care situation where it's important to obtain a blood pressure it is often measured centrally anyway, via insertion of a catheter into the heart.
