Question 1 of 5
A nurse is working in the intensive care unit and must obtain core temperatures on patients. Which sites can be used to obtain a core temperature? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,B,D,E
Rationale: The correct sites to obtain core temperature are rectal, urinary bladder, esophagus, and pulmonary artery. These sites provide accurate core temperature readings as they are located internally near vital organs. Rectal temperature is commonly used in clinical settings as it closely reflects core body temperature. Urinary bladder temperature is reliable due to its proximity to major blood vessels. Esophageal temperature is considered a gold standard for core temperature measurement in critical care settings. Pulmonary artery temperature is highly accurate as it directly measures blood temperature. Temporal artery temperature is not considered core temperature.
