Question

4.Core temperatures are obtained via which of the following? (Select all that apply.)

a.

Axillae

b.

Rectal

c.

Oral

d.

Pulmonary artery

e.

Urinary bladder

Answer 1

Answer : All of the above ( Axillae, Rectal, Oral, Pulmonary artery and Urinary bladder )

Both invasive and non invasive methods are using for the measurement of core body temperature.

The recal temperature reading will be a little higher than an oral reading, a temperature taken in the arm pit will be a little lower than an oral reading. Taking a rectal temperature measurement is the most reliable way to obtain a core body temperature.

The pulmonary artery catheter, which measures blood temperature, is considered the golden standard for measuring core body temperature.

The urinary bladder temperature is among the most reliable and accurate methods of core body temperature measurement in critically ill patients.

So, these all are different methods of checking core body temperature.
