Which of the following areas of the body is the site at which to detect the popliteal pulse?

The popliteal pulse is located at the back of the knee. This pulse is obtained by palpating the popliteal artery, which runs behind the knee joint. When assessing the circulatory status of the lower extremities, healthcare providers often check the popliteal pulse as it can provide important information about the blood flow to the leg. The position of the artery makes the knee the most appropriate area for detecting this pulse. Other areas, such as the ankle, forearm, and foot, have different pulses and do not provide access to the popliteal artery.
