Question

multiple choice question
what is being measured when a pulse is taken?
o cardiac output
o heart rate
o blood pressure

Explanation:

Taking a pulse counts the number of heart - beats per minute, which is the heart rate. Cardiac output is the volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute and is not directly measured by taking a pulse. Blood pressure measures the force of blood against artery walls and is not what a pulse measures.

Answer:

B. Heart rate
