An infant
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from an infant. Which of the following sites is the most reliable location to check the infant's pulse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Apical. The apical pulse, located at the apex of the heart, is the most reliable site to check an infant's pulse. It accurately reflects the heart rate and rhythm due to its proximity to the heart. The other choices are less reliable for infants: B (Dorsalis pedis) and C (Temporal) may be difficult to locate accurately on infants, D (Carotid) is not recommended for routine pulse checks in infants due to the risk of pressing too firmly on the delicate neck structures.
