The appropriate site for taking the pulse of a 2-year-old is:
1. Radial
2. Apical
3. Femoral
4. Pedal
ANS: 2
The brachial or apical pulse is the best site for assessing an infant's or young child's pulse because other peripheral pulses are deep and difficult to palpate accurately. The radial pulse is not the best site for assessing a 2-year-old's pulse. The femoral pulse is not the best site for assessing a 2-year-old's pulse. The pedal pulse is not the best site for assessing a 2-year-old's pulse.
