In the Vascular exam in SamNotes , the pulses are defaulted as Absent. You can however, change the default to 'Non-Palpable' if desired.
This setting is per provider so it is a matter of preference and not system wide.
Step-by-step guide
From the main SamNotes screen (provider should be logged in)
- Utilities & Prefs
- Preferences/Setup Program
- Click on Specialty Setup
4. Click More Choices - Pulses When Absent (if this option was never set none will be checked). Check Non-Palpable if desired and then Close and Save/Close
