Question

which finger should you not use when taking a pulse? (1 point) thumb middle pinky index

Explanation:

When taking a pulse, the thumb is not used because it has its own pulse (the radial artery of the thumb), which can interfere with accurately detecting the patient's pulse. The middle, index, and pinky fingers are commonly used (often index and middle, sometimes with pinky for support) as they don't have a strong enough pulse of their own to interfere.
