Do you add a degree when taking temperature from the ear?
No, a degree is not typically added when taking a temperature from the ear. The temperature reading from an ear thermometer is already in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, so there is no need to add a degree to the result.

no
What other areas for taking temperature?
The areas of the body you can use to take your temprature is your ear if you have a ear thermomitor, under your arm, you add 1 degree, in your mouth is normal reading of 98.6 can be slightly higher or lower. Recially if you have a rectail thermometor, you also take a degree off if done rectally. and they have pasted strips also to stick on your forhead.
Do you add a degree or subtract when you take temperature by mouth?
This is a common misconception, but you don't need to add or subtract anything. Normal Temperatures are 98.6 degrees orally, 99.6 degrees rectally, or 97.6 degrees axillary. It is normal for temperatures to vary up or down one degree and to run higher in the evening.
How many degrees do you add when taking a temperature by ear?
When taking a temperature by ear with an ear thermometer, typically you should add around 1 degree Fahrenheit (or 0.5 degrees Celsius) to the reading to get a more accurate reflection of the body's core temperature. This adjustment is necessary because ear temperatures can be slightly lower than core body temperature.
Do you add a degree of temp when taking in ear?
Yes, when taking an ear temperature with an infrared thermometer, you typically add a degree Fahrenheit to the reading to account for the difference between ear and core body temperature. This adjustment helps provide a more accurate reflection of the body's true temperature. However, it's important to follow the specific guidelines provided with the thermometer, as recommendations may vary by device.
When taking temp under arm do you add or minus temp?
You add 1 degree (Fahrenheit) or 1.8 degrees, depending on opinion. The reason for the uncertainty is that underarm measurement of body temperature is not very accurate. Nevertheless, it is a meaninful indication.
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).
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.
Do you add a degree when take temperature on forehead?
No.The oral temperature (under the tongue) is a degree lower than central. The newer temporal artery thermometers also take a central temperature.
