How do you take a pulse?

Answer 1

You count your heartbeats during 1 minute, normally by feeling on the side of your neck.

You take someone's pulse by putting a finger to the neck artery (carotid) or the wrist (side closest to thumb). It is important that you use a finger for this and not your thumb so that you don't end up taking your own pulse. Links can be found below for more information

If time is of the essence, count for 15 seconds and multiply by four, or 30 seconds and multiply by two. One can also use the femoral arteries to the sides of the groin. Or in cases of infants, the brachial artery on the medial (inside) part of the bicep is used.

Answer 2

a pulse is taken by putting the middle and index finger on either the wrist or side of the neck and counting the amount of throbs felt for ten seconds then multiplying by six because there are sixty seconds in one minute

Answer 3

You take your pulse by putting two of your fingers on either your wrist or neck. To see what your pulse is you count how many beats there are in a certain length of time. If you have just been excersising then your pulse is higher because the blood needs to be pumped around the body faster as you are using more energy.

Answer 4

you count the beats you hear on your neck or your heart

The best place to check your pulse is on the inner part of the bottom of your wrist. Another good place is the upper part of your neck directly below your ear, right below your jaw.

Count how many times you feel a pulse for 60 seconds. 70 beats per minute or lower is what you should aim for.

Best time to check your pulse is in the morning right after you wake up. This is your "resting heart rate"
