Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Checking pedal pulses involves palpating the pulse from the middle of the ankle to the space between the big and second toe. Palpating the inner aspect of the biceps muscle of the arm or palpating the femoral artery as it passes alongside the inguinal ligament are not appropriate techniques for checking pedal pulses. Palpating the client's chest is also not an appropriate technique for checking pedal pulses.
