Answer 2

## Step 1The pulse is the beat of the heart felt at an artery as a wave of blood passes through the artery.## Step 2The five locations where a pulse can be palpated on the human body are the wrist (radial pulse), neck (carotid pulse), forehead (temporal pulse), behind the knee (popliteal pulse), and the groin (femoral pulse).## Step 3When counting the number of pulses for a patient, it is typically done for 15 seconds and then multiplied by 4 to get the beats per minute.## Step 4Five conditions or activities that affect pulse rate include exercise (increases), stress (increases), fever (increases), medication (varies), and dehydration (increases).## Step 5An apical pulse measurement is taken when a peripheral pulse is not palpable, such as in infants or certain medical conditions.## Step 6You don't want a patient to know when you are counting respirations because they might change their breathing pattern, leading to inaccurate measurements.## Step 7You need to report as well as record a respiratory rate if it is abnormal, consistently high, or consistently low, or if it is associated with other symptoms.## Step 8When measuring blood pressure, the higher pressure is called systolic and measures the force caused by the heart contracting. The lower pressure is called diastolic and measures the force when the heart is at rest.## Step 9A normal blood pressure reading is less than 120/80 mmHg.## Step 10Hypertension is greater than 140/90 mmHg and means that blood pressure is too high.
