What's the difference between actual pulse rate and calculated pulse rate?
the calculated pulse is not accurate as you have only measured it fo 15 seconds. then multiplied it by four. Now as pulse is measured in BPM (Beats Per Minute) The accurate way is to actually time it for a minute and you will have an accurate answer.
What characteristics do arteries have to have to be considered a pulse site?
Arteries that are relatively large and near the surface can be used as pulse sites.
Why did you have to take your pulse rate 5 times in order to get an accurate reading?
when you get your pulse rate for the first,2,3,4,5 you add them up together and then you times it by 3
What does carotid pulse radial pulse and heart monitor mean?
A carotid pulse is the heartbeat measured at the carotid artery site, on the sides of the neck. A radial pulse is the pulse or heartbeat taken at the wrist, where the radius and ulna intersect. A heart monitor is on of many devices that measure cardiac performance.
Why is the ten or fifteen second method of taking a pulse less accurate than counting the beats in an entire minute?
More time auscultating or palpating a pulse allows for better chance to pick up on an irregular pulse
What is the most accurate pulse?
Your Heart.

Which two areas of the body are the most accurate locations to use when finding a pulse?
The two most accurate locations to find a pulse are the radial artery, located on the wrist, and the carotid artery, found in the neck. The radial pulse is easily accessible and commonly used for routine checks, while the carotid pulse is often utilized in emergency situations due to its proximity to the heart. Both sites provide a reliable measure of heart rate and circulation.
Is this site accurate to use for research?
No. ANYONE can answer most anything
Pulse site that is located at the temples of the skull lateral to the eyes is called?
Temporal pulse
How long should pulse be counted for the most accurate results?
Pulse rate (or heart rate) is measured in the number of beats per minute. So, the most accurate would be to count the number of beats in an entire minute. If the person's heart rate is regular, though, pulse can be counted for a shorter amount of time, such as 10 seconds (multiply by 6 to get the beats per minute) or even 6 seconds (multiply by 10 to get the beats per minute) to give a fairly accurate count.
Which pulse site on the human body is located under the arm?
The pulse site under the arm is called the brachial artery pulse. It is located on the inner aspect of the upper arm, midway between the shoulder and elbow.
The pulse site found at the temple of the head is called?
The pulse site found at the temple of the head is called the superficial temporal artery. This artery is commonly used for checking the pulse and is located just in front of the ear.
Which pulse site is located on the inner aspect of the wrist?
The pulse site located on the inner aspect of the wrist is the radial pulse. It can be felt by placing the fingers on the thumb side of the wrist, just below the base of the thumb. This site is commonly used to assess heart rate and rhythm.
