What other areas for taking temperature?
The areas of the body you can use to take your temprature is your ear if you have a ear thermomitor, under your arm, you add 1 degree, in your mouth is normal reading of 98.6 can be slightly higher or lower. Recially if you have a rectail thermometor, you also take a degree off if done rectally. and they have pasted strips also to stick on your forhead.
Do you add a degree or subtract when you take temperature by mouth?
This is a common misconception, but you don't need to add or subtract anything. Normal Temperatures are 98.6 degrees orally, 99.6 degrees rectally, or 97.6 degrees axillary. It is normal for temperatures to vary up or down one degree and to run higher in the evening.
When taking temp under arm do you add or minus temp?
You add 1 degree (Fahrenheit) or 1.8 degrees, depending on opinion. The reason for the uncertainty is that underarm measurement of body temperature is not very accurate. Nevertheless, it is a meaninful indication.
How many degrees do you add when taking a temperature by ear?
When taking a temperature from under the arm, I add 0.5 - 1. For in the ear, it will be slightly warmer, so I would add 0.7 - 0.3ºC
Do you add a degree under the tongue?
No, this is an accurate reading. You add a degree when obtaining temperature under the arm (axillary) or in the ear (tympanic).
Do you subtract a degree from rectal temperature?
No. You only add a degree when taking a axial (under the arm) temp. This is because the axial temp is taken externally, so it only gives a close approximation of the body's internal temperature. Since oral temps are taken from inside the mouth, they give you the accurate internal body temperature without having to add anything.
Do you add a degree when take temperature on forehead?
No.The oral temperature (under the tongue) is a degree lower than central. The newer temporal artery thermometers also take a central temperature.
