How is temperature taken through an axillary placement?
GaleEncyofSurgery
In axillary placement, the silver tip of the thermometer is placed under the patient's right armpit, with the patient's arm pressing the instrument against the chest. The thermometer should stay in place for six to seven minutes.

Is 35.6 a low temperature in a person?
Yes. Then normal human body temperature is 37 degrees C, and has a variation down to about 36.5 and up to about 37.5 under normal circumstances. 35.6 is a state of mild hypothermia. it also depends on where the temp is taken. an axillary temp (under the armpit) will be approximately 1 degree lower than a rectal temperature. People also have variations in body temp, and a degree flucuation in either direction can be normal. it's all about knowing what is normal for you.
How does an ear thermometer measure the temperature?
An ear thermometer should be placed carefully in an ear to measure the temperature. The temperature is then taken by an infrared mechanism in the thermometer.

How is temperature taken through an oral placement?

How is temperature taken through a rectal placement?
A small amount of water-based lubricant is placed on the colored tip of the thermometer to make it easier to insert.The tip of the thermometer is inserted into the rectum no more than 0.5 in (1.3 cm) and held there for two to three minutes.
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.
What is the name of the pulse in the arm?
Axillary pulse. It is caused by the force that blood exerts on the walls of the axillary artery (Latin: arteria axillaris)

What are advance placement courses?
Advanced placement courses are typically taken through high school affiliated tests. The student - in most cases - must score a three or higher. Some colleges and universities will award college credit for the subject, with some substituting a required course for another one offered at the college or university.
