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.

List three contraindications for oral temperature measurement?

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.
