Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client with an oral temperature of 100.6 F. What temperature in Celsius should the nurse document in the medical record? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

Correct Answer: 38.1

Rationale:
To find the answer, we can use the following formula: (Celsius) = (Fahrenheit - 32) x (5 / 9). Substituting the given value, we get: (Celsius) = (100.6 - 32) x (5 / 9). Simplifying, we get: (Celsius) = 68.6 x (5 / 9). (Celsius) = 38.111. (rounded Celsius) = 38.1.
Therefore, the nurse should document the oral temperature as 38.1 C in the medical record.
