If a patient is aware that you are counting his breaths they may alter the pattern. It is easy after you finish taking the pulse to count the respirations and the patient is not aware so they don't alter the pattern. This allows you to get a good measurement
they coordinater to each other
The respiration rate is your breathing rate and your pulse rate is your heart beat.
You can check the pulse in the carotid (neck) or brachial (upper arm) arteries for CPR pulse checks. Other possible locations for checking a pulse are Radial (wrist), Popliteal artery (knee) posterior tibial or dorsalis pedis (foot).

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.
lie detector
yes
No you only check a patient's pulse with a watch.
You can check your pulse by putting two fingers on your wrist, or putting two fingers on the side of your neck. Either place works for checking your pulse. but i would try the neck first.
If you're checking your own pulse, you can check either wrist, where you might see the throbbing of the pulse, or either side of your neck, using the minute hand of your watch, for a minute. IF you are checking someone else's pulse, the same principles apply as use above. Just be careful not to use your thumb to check wrist pulses or you might actually be counting your own.
When performing a pulse check on an Infant or Child, check for a maximum of 10 seconds. For lay CPR, no pulse check is required for an adult.
to see if ur heart is working right
Respiration and pulse was taken and documented. Respiration is the act of breathing.
Not a bone. A vein. You can check your pulse easily by checking the vein in your neck (the jugular) or in your wrist). This is done simply by putting a finger or two to it.
The doctor is checking one of several pulse points. These points can tell her if there is good blood flow to a body part such as the leg and foot in this case.
The respiration rate is your breathing rate and your pulse rate is your heart beat.
You can check the pulse in the carotid (neck) or brachial (upper arm) arteries for CPR pulse checks. Other possible locations for checking a pulse are Radial (wrist), Popliteal artery (knee) posterior tibial or dorsalis pedis (foot).
When your nurse or doctor checks your vitals. They are checking your pulse (heart rate), temperature, blood pressure and respiration rate. These are considered the vital signs.
