Why would a pulse rate taken at 6 AM be more accurate than a pulse rate taken at 6 PM?
The pulse rate taken first thing in the morning, while lying in bed or just rising, is only accurate to describe RESTING heart rate. This is because your body is nearly asleep and you haven't had much movement-this will likely be the lowest point in the day. When taken at 6pm, it will depend on what you've done today. Things like stress, exercise, caffeine, etc. can increase and medication, alcohol, etc. can decrease your heart rate. All are technically accurate, but don't reflect RESTING heart rate. In other words, even if your heart rate is 58 at 6am, if it is 200 at 6pm after relaxing, you should ABSOLUTELY seek medical attention.

Why do you not use the thumb for taking the pulse rate?
Thumbs have more blood flow than your fingers and could mess up your timing when checking your pulse. The thumb has a pulse point of its own, so you would be feeling two conflicting pulses at the same time.
Why do you have to take your pulse rate 5 times for accurate reading?
usually people suggest that you take your pulse more then once. occasionally 5 times. this is mainly because your heart may be hard to here so you may miscount but the more you do it the more accurate you will be.
What is the advantage of timing for a full minute to find your pulse?
The longer you time for the more accurate your measurement will be
Why do you take your pulse with your fingers and not your thumb?
We take our pulse with our fingers instead of our thumbs because our thumbs have their own pulse so you could get confused i guess :) ... im only in grade seven and i know that :) im not bragging just telling you, you should know
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 another disease a patient may have that would require a apical pulse?
It does not depend on any particular disease, instead, general guidelines on when it is advisable to take a person's apical pulse. Taking apical pulse is more accurate than just taking a person's pulse. It is done using a stethoscope and placing it by the apex of the heart so 'apical' means, 'the heartbeat at the apex of the heart. It is found underneath your left nipple at the fifth intercostal space (between the fifth and sixth ribs). A doctor would usually require an apical pulse to be taken when: A patient has an irregular heartbeat, or when a patient has bradycardia or tachycardia (unusually slow or unusually fast heart rate), or if a patient is taking cardiac medications. Also, if a person has a pulse deficit or a faint radial pulse.
What is the propagation time of a sound pulse?
Propagation time of any pulse is roughly the time needed for the leading edge of the pulse to travel from one point to another. It will be more accurate to say that the pulse is registered at a given point when its leading edge reaches half of the maximum value (amplitude) of the pulse. The propagation time of a sound pulse is equal to the distance between the measuring points divided to the sound velocity in the medium in which it propagates.

Why does your pulse speed up after you eat D oes your pulse increase after you eat?
after you eat, food need to be metabolised. so it need more oxygen for the tissue which under taken this task. to counteract with the increased demand of oxygen its our body's one of automatic mechanisms. that to increase the pulse and increase the blood circulation
Are electric paintball guns accurate?
You need to be more specific as to what gun and what "accurate" is. However In general electric markers are more consistent that mechanical ones, which would make them more accurate.
Why do you think accurate measurement of time became possible much after accurate measurement of length and mass?
Accurate measurements of time become possible after accurate measurement of length and mass because time taken by a heavy body to move a certain distance is more,and time taken by a light body to move a certain distance is less.
