Question
do you expect the pulse rate to change when the patient stands up?

yes. i expect the pulse rate to increase.
yes. i expect the pulse rate to decrease.
When a patient stands up, the body needs to adjust blood flow to maintain blood pressure. Gravity causes blood to pool in the lower extremities, so the heart has to beat faster (increase pulse rate) to pump enough blood to the brain and other organs. This is related to the body's cardiovascular and physiological responses, so the pulse rate is expected to increase.
