IgorC [24]3 years ago

Answer:

A peripheral pulse refers to the palpation of the high-pressure wave of blood moving away from the heart through vessels in the extremities following systolic ejection.  This phenomenon is readily palpated and serves as a useful clinical tool, comprising one of the most commonly performed physical examination maneuvers at every level of medical care.  Palpation occurs at various locations of the upper and lower extremities including the radial, brachial, femoral, popliteal, posterior tibial, and dorsalis pedis arteries and most commonly evaluates the rate, rhythm, intensity, and symmetry.  Peripheral pulses can be used to identify many different types of pathology and are therefore, a valuable clinical tool.  Finally, modern medical technology allows for evaluation of pulses in ways beyond palpation, such as using Doppler ultrasound to characterize the pulse waveform further.

Think about your everyday life and the people you interact with. Now write down behaviors that you believe do not foster healthy
MrMuchimi
Distrust is a huge barrier in social relationships. Distrust often stems from a "me first" minset that leads to conflict. There is no "I" in team. When. trust is lacking we spend to much time. and energy resisting the other person. Selfies and attention seeking social media outlets has given life to lack of communication and distrust. A large population of individuals male and female would rather be desired by many except valued by one. I believe social media has destroyed many social relationships because a lot of people have more options than ever before. We live in a society of "more" and keeping up with the Joneses that we lack contentment in our social relationships sometimes.
