You can customize private label cards to the same extent as you can a custom program. The one difference is on the front of the card it will read âPowered by <Sponsor Program>â in the upper right corner of the card. All designs must be reviewed and approved by the sponsoring bank and card network association.
How to check your pulse. As the heart forces blood through the arteries, you feel the beats by firmly pressing on the arteries, which are located close to the surface of the skin at certain points of the body. The pulse can be found on the side of the neck, on the inside of the elbow, or at the wrist.
Verify the identity of your patient, and then follow these steps: 1  Have the patient extend his/her arm, and take the patientâs hand. Slide your index and middle finger along the thumb to the hollow of the wrist to locate the radial artery. 2  Apply pressure with your fingertips until you can feel the patientâs pulse. Once you feel a regular heart rate, count the number of beats you feel in thirty seconds. Multiply the result by two to get the patientâs pulse. If the patientâs heart rate is not regular, you will need to count the beats for a full minute. Record the results in the patientâs chart as directed. Wash your hands properly. There are several indicators of an abnormal pulse. For adults, the pulse rate should be between sixty and eighty beats per minute.
