multiple choice question
what can be used to determine a heart rate?
-
o the pulse
o the pulse pressure
o the blood pressure
Brief Explanations
The pulse is the rhythmic expansion and contraction of arteries due to the pumping action of the heart. Counting the number of pulses in a given time - period (e.g., one minute) gives the heart rate. Pulse pressure is the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure and blood - pressure measures the force of blood against artery walls, neither of which directly determine heart rate.
