6-lug wheels are measured like 4-lug wheels. Bolt pattern or bolt circle is the diameter of an imaginary circle formed by the centers of the wheel lugs.. Note: When measuring a 5-lug wheel the measurement is only an estimate unless accurately measured using a bolt pattern gauge. A bolt pattern gauge is a specialty tool and is not widely available.
Palpation should be done using the fingertips and intensity of the pulse graded on a scale of 0 to 4 +:0 indicating no palpable pulse; 1 + indicating a faint, but detectable pulse; 2 + suggesting a slightly more diminished pulse than normal; 3 + is a normal pulse; and 4 + indicating a bounding pulse.
Below the age of two, take an apical pulse. Quote from Reno1978 I was taught that a radial pulse is considered reliable on those ages 2 and higher. Below the age of two, take an apical pulse. Under the age of two, a brachial pulse should be taken to assess peripheral pulses.
