Why is it important to use circular-like motion when rubbing on lotion?
- A.
To Make the resident feel good
- B.
To promote circulation

The Most Accurate Route for Temperature is _________?
- A.
Tympanic
- B.
Rectal
- C.
Oral
- D.
Axillary
Correct Answer
B. RectalExplanation
Rectal temperature measurement is considered the most accurate route for obtaining body temperature. This is because the rectum is close to the core of the body, providing a more accurate reflection of internal temperature. Tympanic (ear) temperature measurements can be influenced by external factors such as earwax or ear infections. Oral temperature measurements can be affected by drinking, eating, or breathing through the mouth. Axillary (armpit) temperature measurements are less accurate as they can be influenced by external temperature and clothing. Therefore, rectal temperature measurement is the most reliable method for accurately determining body temperature.Rate this question:
