Question

Why is it important to know where the major pulse points are found on the body?

Answer 1

Answer:

It can tell the medical professionals if there is an issue with your cardiovascular system.

Explanation:

Along with the ability to count the number of times your heart beats, it tells the provider that there is sufficient blood flow to that area of the body. If a pulse is not felt in an area such as the foot, it is considered an emergency because there is no blood flow to that part of the body.
