Hey everyone,
I finished my assessment class this summer and I'm out doing med surg clincals, using the skills I learned there. My problem: I cannot for the life of me find a popliteal, posterior tibial or dorsalis pedis pulse. I've tried on at least 30 people now and have never felt it once. And now that I'm caring for postsurgical hip replacement surgery patients, it's important to find these on the affect side. What am I doing wrong?
