to determine whether mrs. Higginbotham's pneumonia is resolving -meet your patient, you are monitoring her vital signs her oral temp . is 98.9 f what do you need to keep in mind when evaluating the meaning of this reading. do you think this represent a fever
Homework Answers
As a nurse when you taking the oral temperature readings you should keep in mind the normal oral temperature ranges.
Prior to taking oral temperature nurse should ask about, did the patient had anything cold or hot drinks orally. Because cold drinks or hot drinks may give false results.
And before checking temperature set the thermometer mercury levels below normal i.e 37℃ or 98.6° F.
Normal temperature ranges:97.5° F to 98.9°F
Determine as fever if:-
- Oral temperature is at or over 99.9°F
- Rectal temperature is at or over 100.9°F
- Axillary or ear temperature is at or over 99°F
In the above question patient is having oral temperature of 98.9°F. so it's comes under normal temperature.
Patient doesn't have fever.
