An infant requiring vital signs measurement.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to measure an infant's vital signs. The nurse should use which of the following sites to assess a heart rate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Brachial artery. The nurse should use the brachial artery to assess an infant's heart rate as it is the most appropriate site for infants due to their size and accessibility. The brachial artery is commonly used in pediatric patients for measuring blood pressure and pulse rate. It is located in the upper arm and provides a reliable indication of the heart rate. The other choices are incorrect because:
B) Radial artery is located in the wrist and is not suitable for infants.
C) Apex of the heart is not a practical site for routine heart rate assessment.
D) Carotid artery is located in the neck and is not recommended for infants due to the risk of injury.
