pressure? ok i am 14 yrs old and i went to an urgent care clinic and when the nurse was taking my vital signs she told me to lay my arm flat on the table next to me. why do they do that?

one more question: when the nurse was taking my vital signs i did not see her take my respirations. isnt that part of the vital signs? all she did was take my blood pressure with a monitor thing and then put this thing on my finger and took my temperature.
