Palpating a Superficial PulseThe pulse rate is the number of pulse per minute measured by palpating on superficial artery. The pulse may be felt easily on any superficial arterywhen the artery is compressed over a bone or firm tissue. Palpate the pulse by placing the fingertips of the first two or three fingers of one hand overthe radial artery. It helps to compress the artery firmly as you begin your palpation and then immediately ease up on the pressure slightly. Notice theregularity of the pulse, and assess the degree of tension or amplitude. With your sitting quietly, practice counting the radial pulse for 1 minute. Makethree counts and average the results. Upload your results in the correct file format: docx, PDF, Jeg or PNG.
