1. how would you differentiate your heart rates before and after exercising?
2. what is the advantage of timing for a full minute to find your pulse?
3. what is the advantage of timing over a shorter period of time, especially when you have just finished exercising?

1. you can differentiate your heart rate before and after exercise by taking your pulse.

2. the advantage of timing your pulse for a full minute is you get your pulse exactly beats per minutes vs an estimate.

3. the advantage of timing your pulse over a shorter period of time (especially when you have just finished exercising) is after exercise your heart rate will begin to fall and by testing in a shorter time you get a more accurate heart rate. The more time that passes after you stop exercising, the lower your heart rate will be.

the correct answer is yes the patient would be successful
