What else can I help you with?
What temperature site would have the highest value?
it would be the rectal site
How can you use a double bar graph to compare?
They compare it.
What is the first step of the oral interpretation process?
read the piece
Is a pie chart is used to compare parts to a whole quantity?
Yes. A pie chart is used to visually compare the parts of the whole.
How do circle graphs hep compare different groups of data?
Circle graphs, or pie charts compare the percentage of different things.
How do rectal and axillary temperatures compare with oral temperatures?
rectal is higher ;axillary is lower
Why is rectal temp higher than oral temp?
Rectal temperature is much less influenced by other factors.
Why is it important to take body temperature oral and rectal thermometer?
for safety
Why is there such a difference between oral and rectal temperature in my son...orally he is almost always normal or low grade then rectal it is 101-102 degrees?
Rectal is more accurate because it takes the core body temperature.
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 temperature difference at rectal oral and under the arms?
Rectal is usually .5c above oral, with under arms being .5c below oral Remember 37C is just an average for oral temp and can change through out the day as well
What are the different ways to take temperature and which method is the most accurate?
There are several ways to take temperature, including oral, rectal, ear, forehead, and armpit measurements. The most accurate method is generally considered to be a rectal temperature measurement.
What is the difference between a rectal thermometer and an oral thermometer?
The tastes differ. An oral thermometer has a longer slender end that's inserted (into the mouth), compared to a rectal thermometer that has a short bulbous end inserted (into the rectum). The bulb reduces the chance of tearing the rectal wall, especially in infants. Some digital models have a setting for rectal vs. oral on the unit. The rectal temperature is known to be a little warmer and more accurate to body temperature. If you still have a glass and Mercury thermometer, be aware that mercury is a deadly toxin, and consider replacing the thermometer with a digital model.
Select one method used to measure body temperature?
ear, oral, axillary or rectal are locations it can be measured
What are the ways of getting the body temperature?
oral thermometer rectal thermometer aural thermometer feeling the forehead with your hand
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.
