A. Obtain apical and radial rates simultaneously. B. Palpate pulses in the lower extremities. C. Check blood pressure in left and right arms. D. Compare the pulse strength in upper extremities.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Obtaining apical and radial rates simultaneously allows the nurse to assess for a pulse deficit by comparing the two rates. A pulse deficit is present when the apical rate (heard with a
stethoscope) is greater than the radial rate (palpated at the wrist).

B. Palpating pulses in the lower extremities is not specific for assessing a pulse deficit and may not accurately reflect the cardiac output.

C. Checking blood pressure in left and right arms assesses for blood pressure differences but does not specifically address a pulse deficit.
D. Comparing the pulse strength in the upper extremities does not directly assess for a pulse deficit; simultaneous assessment of apical and radial rates is more appropriate.
