The pulse is taken for how many seconds before multiplying by ten is it for 3 seconds or is it for 6 seconds or is it 10 seconds or is it none of the above?

If you are trying to find your pulse per minute you would take your pulse for 6 seconds and then multiply it by 10. You could also take your pulse for 10 seconds and multiply it by 6

Check the strength of the pulse to see if it is strong or weak and if the rhythm is regular or irregular.If you don't have a watch or a clock around, the Cleveland Clinic Health System recommends counting the beats you feel for 15 seconds and multiplying this by four to get your heart rate per minute: Check your pulse: _______________ (beats in 15 seconds) x 4 = ________________(your pulse)[1] You can count beats for 30 seconds and multiply by 2.
