Which statement describes the optimal protocols that Brittany should follow when assessing her client's RHR? Select one: a. Measure the client's carotid pulse by placing the fingertips directly over the vein with light pressure; once a pulse is identified, count the pulses for 60 seconds. b. Measure the client's radial pulse by placing the fingertips directly over the artery with light pressure; once a pulse is identified, count the pulses for 60 seconds. c. Measure the client's brachial pulse by placing the fingertips directly over the arteriole with light pressure; once a pulse is identified, count the pulses for 60 seconds. d. Measure the client's femoral pulse by placing the fingertips directly over the venule with light pressure; once a pulse is identified, count the pulses for 60 seconds.
