What else can I help you with?
When do you check the apical pulse instead of radial pulse?
Apical pulse will never be less than the radial pulse. A radial pulse rate less than the apical rate is an example of a pulse deficit, and can be the result of a heart murmur, but the opposite will never occur.
What is another disease a patient may have that would require a apical pulse?
It does not depend on any particular disease, instead, general guidelines on when it is advisable to take a person's apical pulse. Taking apical pulse is more accurate than just taking a person's pulse. It is done using a stethoscope and placing it by the apex of the heart so 'apical' means, 'the heartbeat at the apex of the heart. It is found underneath your left nipple at the fifth intercostal space (between the fifth and sixth ribs). A doctor would usually require an apical pulse to be taken when: A patient has an irregular heartbeat, or when a patient has bradycardia or tachycardia (unusually slow or unusually fast heart rate), or if a patient is taking cardiac medications. Also, if a person has a pulse deficit or a faint radial pulse.
Apical heart rate?
The apical pulse is taken when the patient is lying or sitting. A stethoscope is used to listen to the heart and placed at the 5th intercostal space (between ribs on left side of body). The beats are counted for a full minute and recorded. A radial pulse is taken by feeling (palpating) for the pulse on either wrist, just below the thumb (in the soft spot). The beats are counted for 30 seconds, then doubled. If the beats are irregular, they are counted for 60 seconds. The pulse is recorded as beats per minute: BPM An apical-radial pulse is when two nurses record each at the same time. The difference is called the "pulse deficit."
What are the pulse sites on the body?
Temporal, Radial, Dorsalis Pedis, Anterior Tibial, Apical pulse, Ulnar pulse, brachial pulse, Carotid pulse, Femoral pulse, Popliteal pulse, Posterior Tibialis pulse Those are the ones I can think of but there are more.
What are the 16 segments such as anterior lateral inferior apical etc walls of the heart called?
I would like to know what the apical segments of the anterior wall and apical septum are?
What would happen if apical meristem is cut in a plant?
Cutting the apical meristem in a plant would result in the loss of apical dominance, leading to lateral buds being activated to grow. This can cause branching to occur from lower parts of the plant, changing its overall growth pattern.
How do you describe an algebraic expression in words?
x<3 would be explained as X is greater than three. 2x+35 Would be Two Times x plus three times three times three times three times three. Actually that last one would be Two Times x plus three to the power of 5.
What characteristitics if observed in an unidentified green organism would make it unlikely to be a charophyte phragmoplast- rosette cellulose- peroxisome- apical meristem- a and b?
apical meristem
What would happen to the plant if you removed the apical bud?
Removing the apical bud of a plant would result in the inhibition of vertical growth and branching. This is because the apical bud produces hormones that suppress the growth of lateral buds. As a result, the plant may become bushier as lateral buds are allowed to grow freely.
What happends to someone when he gets older?
His pulse rate would decreaseHis pulse would increase
What pulse is considered to be a standard pulse?
the standard pulse for ages 6-15 would be from ranges of 70-100. For an adult though it would be 60-100.
How do you work out one third plus three quarters?
You turn the denominator into the same value so four times three would be twelve so you multiplied the three by four so you times the one by four and then you multiplied the four by three so you would times the three by three so the answer would be 13 over twelve
