Correct Answer - Option 3 : Apical pulse for a full minute

Concept:-

  • When a pulse rate is irregular, it is best to count the Apical pulse for a full minute (1-minute bpm).
  • An irregular pulse is defined as a pulse in which the heart beats very irregularly with no pattern at all.
  • An Apical pulse rate is usually considered abnormal in an adult if it is above 100 beats per minute (bpm) or less than 60 bpm.
  • When the apical pulse is irregular pulses will be counted at the same time for one full minute.

  • Pulse rate- Pulse rate is commonly called heart rate, which is the number of heartbeats per minute (bpm).
  • Normal pulse rate at rest: Children (ages 6 - 15) 70 - 100 beats per minute, Adults (ages 18 and over) 60 - 100 beats per minute.
