1 Place wrapped or covered meat on a dish to catch any raw juice runoff.  Defrost the meat for a full 24 hours. Large cuts of meat, such as whole birds or roasts, can take 24 hours for every 5 lbs. (2.3 kg) of meat.
radial pulse - pulse of the radial artery (felt in the wrist) heart rate, pulse rate, pulse - the rate at which the heart beats; usually measured to obtain a quick evaluation of a person's health.
You can have a patient who, on assessment, has a pulse rate of 60 beats per minute when measured at the radial pulse. However, when you connect the patient to an ECG their heart rate can be massively elevated, to say, 180bpm. Therefore the heart rate is 180bpm but the pulse rate is 60bpm. They are different. Without doing an ECg on a patient like thie you might record the Pulse rate as 60bpm, strong and regular but the actual heart muscle is contracting at 180bpm.
