Notes
Temporal
YES
Easy to find with light pressure Carotid
YES Harder to find but stronger pulse with light pressure Radial
YES
Easy to find needed a little more pressure than the temporal
Brachial
YES
Little harder to find had to press a little hard to feel it Popliteal
YES Had to really feel for this one to find the purls and needed firm pressure 1.
Which arterial pulse was easiest to feel? Explain your answer.
The easiest pulse point for me to find was my temporal pulse point. I have had migraines my whole life and when I have one the pulse point in my temporal throbs. So I know how to find it very easily. Data Table 2

Would it be more accurate to measure the pulse for 15 seconds or for a
full minute? Explain your answer
. I believe it’s more accurate to measure the pulse for a full minute. The reason why I believe this is because you are looking for beats per min and counting the a full min is the most accurate you can do.

Compare your results for Data Tables 3 and 4. Were the number of heart beats per minute approximately the same for each position, standing vs. supine? Why or why not? Standing was a little higher than sitting and laying down. It takes more blood to flood when you are standing © 2018 Carolina Biological Supply Company

Based on your results, was there a difference in blood pressure readings depending on the position of the arm? Explain your answer. Which arm position would provide the most accurate blood pressure reading? Above my heart was the less systolic pressure but lower than the
heart was less diastolic pressure. Level with my heart had higher systolic pressure and diastolic pressure The most accurate blood pressure position
is suppose to be level with your heart.
5.
Based on the results reported in Data Table 6, what is your systolic/diastolic blood pressure reading, and would it be considered normal, high, or prehypertension
? Base on my report from data table 6 I would say my blood pressure is normal.
