rectal is higher ;axillary is lower
Yes, when taking an axillary (armpit) temperature, you typically add 1 degree Fahrenheit to the reading to account for the lower accuracy of this method compared to oral or rectal measurements. Axillary temperatures are generally lower than core body temperatures, so this adjustment helps provide a more accurate estimation of the body's actual temperature. However, it is always best to follow specific guidelines or recommendations from healthcare professionals.
Depending on what degrees you are talking about ... A normal thermometer can measure 100 °F - as can an oral or rectal thermometer. A cooking thermometer can measure 100 °C Cryogenic thermometer can measure 100 K. A protractor can measure 100° (depending on the type - they can measure from 0° to 180° or a full 0° to 360°)
If you are referring to oral sex, I do not discuss my personal sex life online, Many people enjoy various styles of sexual activity including oral sex.
after two days the average person will only remember 25% of a 10 min oral presentation.
Yes, that is correct.
The three main routes for taking a temperature are oral, rectal, and axillary (underarm). Oral measurements are taken in the mouth, rectal measurements are taken in the rectum, and axillary measurements are taken in the armpit. Each route can provide slightly different readings, so it's important to use the same method consistently for accurate comparisons.
ear, oral, axillary or rectal are locations it can be measured
rectal tympanic axilla
Oral method: placing a thermometer under the tongue. Axillary method: placing a thermometer in the armpit. Tympanic method: using an ear thermometer to measure temperature in the ear canal. Rectal method: inserting a thermometer into the rectum for a core body temperature reading.
Contraindications for oral temperature measurement include recent ingestion of hot or cold beverages, respiratory conditions affecting the mouth, and patients who are unable to close their mouths properly.
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.
An axillary temperature is typically 0.5°F (0.3°C) lower than an oral temperature. Therefore, an axillary temperature taken as 98.6°F would be roughly equivalent to an oral temperature of 99.1°F.
Axillary
There are many methods of taking the human temperature and with each it's set of problems. Oral is subject to the last thing you had to eat, axillary (armpit) is subject to outside temperature, and rectal is subject to getting you beaten for trying to take it there. Unfortunately rectal is the most accurate other than Kidney, but you have to be dead to take it there. Others such as tympanic, temporal and others are proving to be much less accurate that originally thought.
Temperature of a human can be measured using a thermometer. Common methods include oral (mouth), rectal (rectum), axillary (armpit), tympanic (ear), and temporal (forehead) measurements. Oral and tympanic measurements are the most common and convenient methods for adults.
When using a digital thermometer under the arm (axillary), it typically needs to be left in place for about 5 to 10 minutes for an accurate reading. Ensure the thermometer is positioned correctly and the armpit is dry, as moisture can affect the reading. For the most precise results, consider using an oral or rectal thermometer, as axillary readings can be less reliable.
The normal oral temperature is about 35-36 degrees Celsius and 96-98 degrees Fahrenheit. It is about a degree lower than central (rectal or tympanic) temperatures.
