Children under 6 years of age are contraindicated for taking oral temperature, because there is a chance to bite. If the child is younger than 3 years, taking a technical temperature gives the best reading but it cannot be used too frequently because of chronic use of any damage anal sphincter, so the rectal method should be avoided in children as much as possible. *5).* Which route is used to identify hypothermia in a newborn? (a) Oral (b) Aural (c) Rectal (d) Surface probe *Correct Option (c)* Hypothermia Assessment in Newborns Rectal temperature measurement is commonly used to assess for hypothermia in newborns. This method provides a more accurate core temperature reading, which is essential for diagnosing hypothermia. Why Rectal Route? The rectal route is preferred because: 1. *Accuracy*: Rectal temperature measurements are more accurate than other methods, such as oral or surface probes. 2. *Core temperature*: The rectal temperature reflects the core body temperature, which is essential for diagnosing hypothermia. 3. *Newborn physiology*: Newborns have a smaller body mass and a higher surface-to-volume ratio, making rectal temperature measurement a more reliable method. Other Options - (a) Oral: Not suitable for newborns, as they may not be able to hold a thermometer in their mouth. - (b) Aural: May not provide accurate readings, especially in newborns. - (d) Surface probe: May not accurately reflect core body temperature. *6).* Temperature recording is lowest, when it is taken from: (a) Rectum (b) Axilla (c) Mouth (d) Vagina *Correct Option (b)* Temperature is recorded lowest by axilla (97.6 F or 36.4°C), highest by rectum (99.6°F or 37.5°C) and medium by oral (98.6°F or 37°C) route, Rectal temp. is 1°F (0.5° C) higher and axtory and tympanic is 1° F (0.5° C) lower than the normal oral temperature. There is 2º F difference between asilla tow to rectal (highest). *8).* Difference between oral & axillary temp. is: (a) 1.6 degree Celsius (b) 3 degree Celsius (c) 1 degree Celsius (d) 0.6 degree Celsius *Correct Option (d)* Temperature Measurement Differences Oral and axillary temperature measurements have a known difference due to variations in blood flow and heat loss: - Oral temperature reflects the temperature of the mouth and surrounding tissues. - Axillary temperature reflects the temperature of the armpit area. Studies have shown that axillary temperatures are typically 1°C (1.8°F) lower than oral temperatures. Other Options - (a) 1.6 degree Celsius: Slightly higher than the accepted difference. - (b) 3 degree Celsius: Significantly higher than the accepted difference. - (d) 0.6 degree Celsius: Slightly lower than the accepted difference. *8).* The difference between rectal and oral temperature is by: (a) 1°F (b) 2°F (c) 0.5°F (d) 1°C *Correct Option (a)* Refer MCQ No 7 *9).* The oral temperature of a patient is 37°C. The following statement is true: (a) Rectal temperature will be 36.5°C (b) Axillary temperature will be 37°C (c) Rectal temperature will be 37.5°C (d) Axillary temperature will be 38°C *Correct Option (c)* Refer MCQ No 9 *10).* Normal rectal temperature is typically: (a) Lesser than oral temperature (b) Equal to oral temperature (c) Greater than oral temperature (d) No relation to oral temperature *Correct Option (c)* Refer MCQ No 9 *11).* While taking temperature from the rectal route in children the thermometer should be inserted: (a) 0.5 Inch (b) 1 Inch (c) 1.5 Inch (d) 2 Inch *Correct Option (b)* While taking temperature from rectal route, lubricate the thermometer and insert about 0.5 inch (1.25cm) into infant, 1 inch (2.5cm) into children and 1.5 inches (3.8cm) into adult and keep for 5 minutes into place. *12).* A nurse is checking a rectal temperature with a mercury (glass) thermometer. Which of the following actions by the nurse is incorrect? (a) Insert thermometer through anal sphincter (b) Read the thermometer with mercury at eye level (c) Apply water-soluble lubricant to the thermometer before insertion (d) Leave the thermometer in place for 5 to 10 minutes before reading *Correct Option (d)* Thermometer should be kept into rectum for only 3 to 5 minutes not for 10 minute and read the results immediately after removing it. All other actions are correct while taking temperature by rectal route. *13).* In which of the following clients is a rectal temperature most usually contraindicated? (a) Client who has had a myocardial infarction. (b) Client with Parkinson's disease (c) Client who is prone to seizures (d) Client with neuropathology associated with diabetes *Correct Option (a)* Contraindication for rectal temperature: Cardiac client, who had rectal surgery, client with diarrhea, fecal impaction or rectal bleeding. *14).* How long should a nurse wait after taking cold milk for recording oral temperature? (a) 5 to 10 mts (c) 20 to 30 mts (b) 10 to 20 mts (d) 30 to 40 mts *Correct Option (c)* Wait for 20 to 30 minutes before measuring oral temperature if patient smoked or chewed gum and ingested hot and cold liquid or foods. *15).* All of the precautions are true while recording the oral temperature of a patient except: (a) Measurement of temperature should be done on a fixed time of the day (b) It is measured at least 3 min after keeping thermometer sublingually with lips closed (c) Not to record in patient who recently smoked (d) Patient on oxygen inhalation, stop the oxygenation before recording oral temp. *Correct Option (d)* Contraindications for oral temperature: Extreme weak, unconscious, delirious, mentally ill person, client with convulsion, children below 6-year, client with injury and operation of mouth, client with frequent cough and who is taking mouth breath like on oxygen inhalation. Option 'D' is wrong because if a patient is on oxygen, never stop the oxygenation to record temperature, while other route should be chosen to take temperature instead of mouth. All other options are correct for taking oral temperature. *16).* The nurse knows that the most appropriate method for assessing the temperature of a patient on seizure precautions is: (a) Electronic (b) Axillary (c) Oral (d) Rectal *Correct Option (d)* *17).* Convert 40 degree Celsius to Fahrenheit: (a) 104 (b) 98 (c) 102 (d) 100 *Correct Option (a)* Formula to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit: F = Cx9/5+32 40×1.8+32 409/5+32 72+32104°F = *18).* If the temperature of an object is 140-degree Fahrenheit, then its temperature in C is: (a) 105°C (b) 32°C (c) 140°C (d) 60°C *Correct Option (d)* Formula to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius: C(F-32) × 5/9 140-32 x 5/9 = 108 × 0.56 = 60.48°C *19)*. A body temperature of 39° C is equivalent to a Fahrenheit temp. (in nearest degrees): (a) 99 (b) 100 (c) 101 (d) 102 *Correct Option (d)* Refer MCQ No 18 *20).* Temperature of 98.7 degree Fahrenheit is approximately equal to .....degree Celsius: (a) 38.16 (b) 37.56 (c) 36.52 (d) 37.06 *Correct Option (d)* Refer MCQ No 18 *Regards:* *Maha Nursing ✍️ 🏆*
