Feedback:
A feeble, weak, or thready pulse describes a pulse that is difficult to feel or, once felt, is obliterated easily with slight pressure. A normal pulse is described as strong when it can be felt with mild pressure over the artery. A pulse is considered rapid when the beats exceed 100 bpm, which is not the case here. A bounding or full pulse produces a pronounced pulsation that does not easily disappear with pressure. A strong pulse is felt with a very mild pressure over the artery.
