What is tympanic temperature?
The average normal oral temperature is 98.6°F (37°C). An ear (tympanic) temperature is 0.5°F (0.3°C) to 1°F (0.6°C) higher than an oral temperature.
List three contraindications for oral temperature measurement?
Axillary,rectal,tympanic,or temporal method
What is the different routes for taking a temperature?
1. Oral 2. Rectal 3. Axillary (Arm pit) 4. Tympanic (Ear)
What sites can be used to measure core temperature?
Tympanic and rectal... and in recent years, monitoring of urinary bladder temperature has become more common. Temperature-sensing indwelling urinary catheters allow continuous drainage of urine and continuous measurement of body temperature.
Is a rectal temp more accurate than a oral temp?
In terms of accurate, it is assumed the questioner means with respect to core body temperature. Skin temperature is influenced by the ambient (air) temperature, and is therefore not an accurate reflection of the core body temperature. Positioning the thermometer under the tongue yields a close reflection to core body temperature, but this procedure is not always practical, especially with infants and animals. Rectal temperature measures the temperature inside the body cavity, and is therefore a very accurate reflection of the true core body temperature. Furthermore, the rectal temperature can be readily obtained in most cases.
What is an aural temperature?
The tympanic thermometer measures the patient's temperature by measuring the infrared waves produced by the tympanic membrane and records the temperature in less than 2 to 3 seconds on a digital screen. The tympanic membrane and the hypothalamus of the brain share the same blood supply, so an accurate measurement of the body temperature can be obtained.

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).
