PROCEDURE
Equipment- timer, fingers, patience
Bend your elbow with your arm at your side. Palm of hand should be up
Using 2 fingers, gently feel for the radial artery inside your wrist.
You'll feel the radial pulse beating when you find it
Do not use your thumb to take pulse because the thumb has a pulse of its own
5.
PROCEDURE
Count your radial pulse for a full minute.
Notice if your pulse has a strong weak beat
Write down your pulse rate, date, time, and which wrist was used
Also write anything you notice about your pulse, such as weak, strong, or missing beats
