A persons pulse can be taken at a number of different places on the body but it is typically taken at the wrist or neck.
On the wrist it is taken at the Radial Artery. Using the left arm as an example, with your left palm facing up, use the fingers of the right hand to apply gentle pressure between the left most bone on the left arm and the tendons in the middle of the forearm, about 2-3 inches below the wrist line.
At the neck the pulse can be felt at the Carotid Artery 2-3 inches either side of the Larynx. Again, apply gentle pressure to feel the pulse.
