Question

Which step is usually NOT performed when finding a pulse?

A -- using the carotid arteries on either side of the neck
B -- counting the number of heartbeats for six seconds
C -- making a fist to find a pulse in the wrist
D -- multiplying the total number of heartbeats by six

Answer 1

Answer is B. counting the number of heartbeats for 6 seconds. :)

Step-by-step explanation:

To quote the text, "You must make a fist with one hand before using the index and middle fingers of your other hand to press down on the artery to find it. Once you have found the artery, locate your pulse and count how many heartbeats you can feel for 10 seconds. Multiply the number by 6 to get the approximate number of heartbeats in 60 seconds, or bpm."

Answer 2

D, this is true because it does not state how many heartbeats you multiply by and there is defenitly no multiplying anyway
