But body temperature is different for infants and adults. D. Use the thigh to obtain blood pressure when a client has severe edema in their arms. "Count the respiratory rate for 1 minute for clients who have a respiratory infection." Be sure to indicate the site and whether you measured the blood pressure on the right or the left side of the patient's body. In Exergen models, two tasks are being performed by the thermometer as it scans. This type of thermometer is non-invasive and may even be applied while a patient is sleeping. A temporal artery thermometer may be more expensive than other types of thermometers. Systematic review and meta-analysis on the diagnostic accuracy of temporal artery thermometers (TAT). D. Withhold the client's antianxiety medication. Next, the nurse should apply the sensor probe to the selected site and instruct the client not to move. 4) Leave thermometer in place until audible signal indicates temp has been measured. B. D. A client who has a blood pressure of 110/68 mm Hg. A peripheral pulse strength of +4 is described as bounding and is considered an unexpected finding. For children who can hold a thermometer under the tongue using proper technique (usually children older than four or five years). Which of the following findings requires intervention?

A nurse is planning care for a group of clients. 5) Discard disposable cover and document results. -The temperature reading C. Encourage the client to practice relaxation techniques each day. As the ventricle contracts, the blood is forced into the aorta and systemic circulation. -Oxygen saturation after a specific treatment (nebulizer therapy) in the medulla of the brain and the level of carbon dioxide in the blood help regulate breathing. What is the temporal temperature range? Measurements were performed using two temporal artery thermometers (Temporal Scanner TAT-5000, Exergen Corp.). 3) Position probe flat on center of patient's forehead at midpoint between the hairline and eyebrow TATs use an infrared scanner to measure the temperature of the temporal artery in the forehead. a. increases the flow of auxin down the shoot, c. produces a plant that will grow taller, d. produces a plant that will grow fuller. The temporal temperature range for forehead temperature measurements is 94 to 110F (34.5 to 43C). Releasing the pressure at a rate of 5 mm Hg per second is too fast. Once oxygenated, the blood is returned to the heart via the pulmonic vein, where it enters the left atrium.
