Explanation: Crude Death Rate indicates the number of deaths per 1000 mid-year population. CDR is calculated as: CDR = (D × K)/P where D=total number of deaths registered during the calendar year, P= total mid-year estimated population, and K=a constant usually taken as 1,000.

Explanation: Pulse deficit refers to the difference between a radial pulse and an apical pulse rate. The apical pulse is assessed through the stethoscope in a sitting or lying position of the patient, while the radial pulse is assessed by palpating the radial artery. The pulse deficit is seen in conditions like atrial fibrillation.
