question 4 of 5
how do you take an accurate pulse?
a. notice how hard or soft the beats are.
b. count the number of breaths for one minute.
c. count the number of beats for 45 seconds.
d. count the number of beats for one minute.

Explanation:

To take an accurate pulse, one counts the number of heart - beats in a set time period. A full minute provides a more accurate average compared to a shorter time like 45 seconds. Option A is about the quality of beats not the count for pulse rate, and option B is about counting breaths not beats.

Answer:

D. Count the number of beats for one minute.
