The most common is the wrist, but you can find it several other places.
Wrist
Run your fingers along the outside of the wrist, just under the thumb. This is the position of the artery that runs from your heart to your hands. Along with the neck, the wrist is the best place to check the pulse since the artery runs close to the skin and the bones create a firm place to feel the heart rate.
Neck
Apply pressure to the side of the neck, just under the back of the jaw. This is the location of the artery sending blood from your heart to your head and brain. This is another easy-to-reach place to check your heart rate.
Knee
Check behind the knee. This artery sends blood to your lower extremities. It can be difficult to find the pulse in this area. If finding the pulse here is too difficult, go to another location on the body.
Groin
Find your pulse where the leg meets the pelvis. The artery here sends blood to your lower extremities. The amount of muscle and fat in this area can make it difficult to find the pulse.
Temple
Press firmly to the side of and behind the eye. The thin layer of fat and muscle usually allows for the pulse to be easily felt at this location.
Foot
Check along the top and inner side of the foot. Pressing against the bones in the foot should reveal your pulse rate.
Elbow
Test your pulse rate on the Inside bend of the elbow. Fully extend your arm and feel inside the bend of your elbow, close to your body.

When assessing a pulse site what type of vessels is palpated in every scenarios?
When assessing a pulse site, arteries are palpated in every scenario. This is because pulses are the result of the rhythmic expansion and contraction of arterial walls as blood is pumped through them by the heart.
