The LPN/LVN notes that an apical-radial pulse is ordered for a client. Which is the correct way to obtain this reading?
1. Have another nurse take the radial pulse while the LPN takes the apical pulse.
2. Take the apical pulse and immediately take the radial pulse.
3. The LPN should listen to the apical pulse and ask the client to take the radial pulse.
4. Take the radial pulse and then take the apical pulse.
