WHAT IS A “NORMAL” TEMPERATURE?
Temperature readings vary among individuals. A normal temperature refers to each
individual
range
conside
higher
an
’s average temperature while they are well. Normal average temperatures
from 97°F/36.1°C to 100°F/37.7°C when taken orally. A rectal temperature is
red your real or “core” body temperature. A rectal temperature is 1°F/0.5°C
than an oral reading and an underarm temperature is 1°F/0.5°C lower than
oral reading.
HOW TO TAKE TEMPERATURE

RECTAL USE
■
Commonly used for babies, young children or when it is difficult to take an oral
or
underarm temperature.
■
After placing the probe cover on the thermometer, lubricate with a water-soluble
jelly
such as K-Y Jelly®.
■
Gently insert the probe tip no more than 1/2 inch or 1.3 cm into the rectum. Do
