ok so i think this is th answer:

Palpating carotid: palpate only one at a time.
- this ensures adequate cerebral flow through the other and thus prevents possible ischemia.
- Avoid exerting too much pressure and massaging the area.
- Ask client to turn head slightly toward the side being examined

Palpating Peripherals: on both sides of the clients body individually, simultaneously and systematically to determine the symmetry of pulse volume.
- if difficulty arises use a Doppler Ultrasound probe

HOW TO PALPATE: USE THE PADS OF THE FINGERS B/C THEIR CONCENTRATION OF NERVE ENDINGS MAKES THEM HIGHLY SENSITIVE TO TACTILE DISCRIMINATION.

NO THUMBS!!!
