Question 1 of 5
Which technique will provide the most accurate measurement of the patient's core temperature?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Rectal. Rectal temperature measurement is the most accurate for assessing core body temperature because it closely reflects the body's internal temperature. This method provides a direct measurement of the temperature of the blood vessels in the rectum, which is a better indicator of core temperature compared to other sites like the armpit (A: Axillary), forehead (C: Forehead), or mouth (D: Oral) where external factors can influence the reading. Rectal temperature measurements are less affected by environmental factors and provide a more reliable indication of the body's true temperature.
Therefore, choosing rectal temperature measurement ensures the most accurate assessment of the patient's core temperature.
