Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
When taking a client's peripheral pulse, rhythm is assessed to determine if it is regular or irregular. Depth is not typically assessed during this process. Sound may be assessed during blood pressure measurement, but not pulse measurement. Stress is not a characteristic that is assessed during a peripheral pulse assessment.
