Question 3 of 9
A client had oral surgery following a motor vehicle accident. The nurse assessing the client finds the skin flushed and warm. Which of the following would be the best method to take the client's body temperature?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In cases where the oral route is not recommended due to oral surgery or altered consciousness, the rectal method is preferred for the most accurate body temperature reading. This method is particularly useful when the skin is flushed and warm, as it provides a reliable reflection of core body temperature despite external factors affecting the skin temperature. Axillary temperature may not be as accurate, and arterial line temperature monitoring is invasive and not typically used for routine temperature assessment.

Which hormone is secreted by the Islets of Langerhans?

Rationale: Insulin is the hormone secreted by the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. These specialized cells are responsible for regulating blood sugar levels by releasing insulin in response to high blood glucose levels.

Therefore, the correct term to describe an above-normal pulse rate is tachycardia.
