This tutorial will show you how to use and read a glass thermometer, in addition to other types. • There are also many different routes you can use to take a temperature: The most common include rectum, mouth, armpit, skin, temporal artery (forehead), and ear (tympanic). • According to most experts, the rectum offers the most accurate reading. The armpit and skin offer the least accurate readings. • The average body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything over 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit can be considered a fever in both adults and children. • Taking a person's temperature is something you not only do at home when you're sick, but nurses also perform this task on the job. • Before taking a temperature as a nurse, you always want to perform hand hygiene, don gloves (if you will touch the mouth or rectum), clean the thermometer per the protocols in your healthcare facility (soap and water and/or an alcohol pad), and add a thermometer probe cover for added protection. • If checking a temperature orally, ensure that the patient hasn't consumed food or beverages and if they have wait 15 minutes to take the temperature, as this can distort the temperature. • When finished, always discard the thermometer probe cover, doff your gloves, perform hand hygiene, and document the temperature AND the route used (oral, axillary, rectum, etc.). • Notes: http://www.registerednursern.com/take... • Our Nursing Gear: https://teespring.com/stores/register... • Follow Us: • Facebook: / registerednurserns • Instagram: / registerednursern_com • Twitter: / nursesrn • #nurse • #nursing • #howtotakeatemperature • #bodytemperature • #nursingskills • Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c... • Nursing School Supplies: http://www.registerednursern.com/the-... • Visit our website RegisteredNurseRN.com for free quizzes, nursing care plans, salary information, job search, and much more: http://www.registerednursern.com • Check out other Videos: / registerednursern • All of our videos in a playlist: • Insulin Onset Peak Duration Mnemonic ... • Popular Playlists: • NCLEX Reviews: • NCLEX Study Strategies • Fluid Electrolytes: • Fluid and Electrolytes Nursing • Nursing Skills: • Nursing Skills Videos • Nursing School Study Tips: • Nursing School Study Tips • Nursing School Tips Questions • Nursing School Tips Questions • Teaching Tutorials: • Teaching Tutorials • Types of Nursing Specialties: • Types of Nursing Specialties • Healthcare Salary Information: • Healthcare Salary Information • New Nurse Tips: • New Nurse Tips • Nursing Career Help: • Nursing Career Help • EKG Teaching Tutorials: • EKG/ECG Interpretation • Dosage Calculations for Nurses: • Dosage Calculations Nursing • Diabetes Health Managment: • Diabetes Health Managment
