What is the anatomy of the breast muscle?
The breast muscle, also known as the pectoralis major, is a large, fan-shaped muscle located in the chest area. It is composed of two main parts: the clavicular head and the sternal head. The clavicular head originates from the collarbone (clavicle) and the sternal head originates from the sternum (breastbone). These two parts come together to form the bulk of the chest muscle, which is responsible for movements like pushing and hugging.

Apical heart rate?
The apical pulse is taken when the patient is lying or sitting. A stethoscope is used to listen to the heart and placed at the 5th intercostal space (between ribs on left side of body). The beats are counted for a full minute and recorded. A radial pulse is taken by feeling (palpating) for the pulse on either wrist, just below the thumb (in the soft spot). The beats are counted for 30 seconds, then doubled. If the beats are irregular, they are counted for 60 seconds. The pulse is recorded as beats per minute: BPM An apical-radial pulse is when two nurses record each at the same time. The difference is called the "pulse deficit."
