What observations should be noted and recorded when you take a patient's pulse?

When taking a pulse you need to pay attention to the rate of the pulse (how fast/slow?) and the quality of the pulse (how weak/strong?).


What are pulse characteristics such as bounding?

Pulse characteristics refer to the qualities of the pulse that can be assessed during a physical examination, including its rate, rhythm, strength, and quality. A "bounding" pulse is characterized by an unusually strong and forceful heartbeat that can be felt easily, often indicative of conditions like fever, anxiety, or increased cardiac output. Other characteristics, such as "weak" or "thready," describe a pulse that is faint and difficult to detect, potentially signaling issues like shock or low blood volume. Assessing these characteristics helps clinicians evaluate cardiovascular health and underlying medical conditions.
