Actually the "ulnar" is not really a medically recognized pulse point, you'll never even hear it mentioned in medical school. Instead of "ulnar", it's apical, referring to the apex of the heart, which is an ascultated pulse, meaning you 'listen' for it rather than palpate or feel for it. The apical pulse is ascultated for between the 5 & 6 rib on the left side of the PT's chest. You measure it the same way you would a radial pulse. The rest are 100% accurate.
