Extract:

An infant


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: Apex of the heart. The nurse should assess an infant's heart rate at the apex of the heart because it is the most accurate site for measuring heart rate in infants due to the faster heart rate and smaller size of their hearts. The apex of the heart is located at the point of maximal impulse (PMI) which is usually at the 4th or 5th intercostal space at the midclavicular line. This location allows for direct and accurate assessment of the heart's contractions.

Summary:
B: Radial artery - This site is used to assess pulse rate, not heart rate.
C: Carotid artery - This site is used to assess pulse rate, not heart rate.
D: Brachial artery - This site is used to assess blood pressure, not heart rate.
