Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client's circulatory system. Which of the following pulse sites should the nurse avoid assessing bilaterally at the same time?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Carotid. The nurse should avoid assessing the carotid pulse bilaterally simultaneously to prevent the risk of reducing blood flow to the brain, which could lead to fainting or dizziness. It is essential to assess one carotid pulse at a time to ensure proper blood circulation to the brain. Assessing the femoral, popliteal, and brachial pulses bilaterally at the same time is acceptable as it does not pose the same risk of compromising blood flow to vital organs.
