Hello nurses,
I am a student nurse. I was told in clinicals to check the pulse in all sites. How about in reality, do you check ( Carotid,femoral, popliteal, dorsalis pedis) pulses? During my clinicals, I only seen nurses check apical, radial and dorsalis pedis. I find it extremely hard to feel popliteal pulse, is there a special way to check( feel) it? Thanks so much :)
