Your heart rate can be taken at any spot on the body at which an artery is close to the surface and a pulse can be felt.
You should always use your fingers to take a pulse, not your thumb, particularly when recording someone else's pulse, as you can sometimes feel your own pulse through your thumb.

47 year old female is exercise heart rate of 185 normal?
It depends what exercise you are doing, how hard you are working your body etc. To work out what your heart rate should be you take your age away from the maximum heart rate (205). So you should aim for a heart rate of 158 when exercising. Hope that helps :)

Why do you take an apical pulse for people on digoxin?
You need to accurately check the heart rate. Digoxin can lower the heart rate to dangerous levels. You should not administer digoxin when pulse rate is already below 60.
What do you need to know to determine your target heart rate range?
you find the average of your resting heart rate. then find your maxium heart rate (220-your age) then find your reserve by subtracting your Average Resting Heart Rate from your Maximum Heart Rate. then find 60% of that
What are the steps to calculate your target heart rate range?
Your target heart rate should be between 75-85% of your max heart rate. To find your max heart rate you take 220 and subtract your age from it to get your max heart rate. Then you can find your target heart rate easily by taking a calculator, typing in your max heart rate, and then type in "subtract (-) 15%". Record that number on a piece of paper of some sort. Then retype your max heart rate and then type in "subtract(-) 25%". Also record that number down on the same piece of paper you wrote the original number on and put a dash (-) between the numbers. This will show you the two numbers your target heart rate should be in-between.
What type of pulse is taken when you are relaxed?

How many times your heart beat in a minute after doing 25 jumping jacks?
Determining a safe upper limit for heart rate during exercise is specific to every individual person. That is because your safe heart rate depends on your age, as well as the rate of your resting heart rate. That is why it is easier to say that a safe upper limit is 60% to 90% of your maximum heart rate rather than us trying to provide you with a specific number. If you want a general idea of what your maximum exercise heart rate should be, then you take 220 and subtract your age. That is the maximum rate your heart should beat while exercising. If you are exceeding that amount, then you are working too hard and need to back off until your rate is 60% to 90% of that level. When it comes to exercising, you want your heart rate to go up. The goal is not to keep your heart rate down, something that many people don't understand. You want your resting heart rate to be low, not your exercising heart rate. You really want your heart rate to be elevated and if you aren't achieving an increase of at least 50% of your maximum heart rate, then you aren't benefiting like you should from your exercises. As you get into better shape, you want to try to achieve 90% of your maximum heart rate to get the most benefit from your exercises.
Which heart rate shows that the person starts jogging?
your question is unanswerable in that no heart rate indicates jogging. what you need to do is take a resting heart rate then start jogging until you get to a target heart rate, like 100 or 120 or whatever is appropriate for your age.
