Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The carotid artery is the strongest pulse because it is in an artery that is relatively large, close to the skin’s surface and relatively close to the heart. A lot of blood has to flow to the brain, which is why there are two carotid arteries on either side of the neck.
Detailed explanation-2: -Wave speed was significantly higher in the brachial (6.97 ± 0.58 m/s) and radial (6.78 ± 0.62 m/s) arteries compared with the carotid artery (5.40 ± 0.34 m/s; P < 0.05).
Detailed explanation-3: -The pulse amplitude, or character, refers to how strong, forceful, or full the pulse is. A weak, thready, or feeble pulse is typically considered an emergency and could be an indication of low blood pressure, like when a client is hemorrhaging, as well as a serious heart problem or a blockage of a blood vessel.
