Where is the radial pressure point?
The point of the radial pulse is located on the patient's 'thumb' side of their wrist. You locate the patient's radial artery (pulse pont) in the patient's wrist using your middle two or three fingers. You count the number of pulses that occur in eiher 30 seconds or 1 minute. NEVER use your thumb to take a pulse. You would then be feeling your OWN pulse.
Is the ankle distal to the phalanges?

What is the normal tibial pulse rate?
A distal pulse should be the same rate as a femoral pulse, carotid pulse, brachial pulse, pedal pulse, or radial pulse. The strength of the pulse may be harder to feel the further away from the heart, but the rate should be the same. One heart, One Pulse Rate. The Normal heart rate/pulse in an adult is 60-100 beats per minute. Less of course, in the super healthy athlete.
