Why shouldn’t you use your thumb when taking pulse? a) the thumb is not sensitive enough to feel an accurate pulse b) it is possible to feel a pulse in the thumb c) the thumb is not steady enough by itself to keep track of a pulse accurately d) all of the above

The correct answer is B)- It is possible to feel a pulse in the thumb.

Explanation:

Pulse rate defines as the pressure of blood on vessels at the time of heart contraction and relaxation( heart beat).

Thumb is not used while taking the pulse measurement because a thumb has its own pulse rate, and it can easily hinder the actual measurement. Due to this reason we use two fingers for measuring the pulse rate.
