The client's temperature at 8:00 am
using an oral electronic thermometer is
36.1°C (97.2°F). If the respiration, pulse,
and blood pressure were within normal
range, what would the nurse do next?
1. Wait 15 minutes and retake it.
2. Check what the client's temperature
was the last time it was taken.
,3. Retake it using a different
thermometer.
4. Chart the temperature; it is normal
Answer: 2. Rationale: Although the
temperature is slightly lower than
expected for the morning, it would be
best to determine the client's previous
temperature range next. This may be a
normal range for this client. Depending
on that finding, the nurse might want to
retake it in a few minutes—no need to
wait 15 minutes (option 3) or with
another
thermometer to see if the initial
thermometer was functioning properly.
,Chart after determining that the
temperature has been measured
properly (option 4). Cognitive Level:
Applying. Client Need: Health
Maintenance and Promotion. Nursing
Process: Assessment. Learning Outcome:
29-4.
Which client meets the criteria for
selection of the apical site for
assessment of the pulse rather than a
radial pulse?
1. A client who is in shock
, 2. A client whose pulse changes with
body position changes
3. A client with an arrhythmia
4. A client who had surgery less than 24
hours ago
Answer: 3. Rationale: The apical rate
would confirm the rate and determine
the actual cardiac rhythm for a client
with an abnormal rhythm; a radial pulse
would only reveal the heart rate and
suggest an arrhythmia. For clients in
shock, use the carotid or femoral pulse
(option 1). The radial pulse is adequate
for determining a change in the
orthostatic heart rate (option 2). The
