The statement that indicates the need for additional education is the last one: "When monitoring the same client, an axillary temperature is usually higher by a degree than an oral temperature."

Explanation for each option:

  1. "If taken both in the morning and in the evening, a client's evening oral temperature is generally higher than the morning one."

    • This statement is generally correct. Body temperature tends to be lower in the morning and higher in the evening due to the body's circadian rhythm.

  2. "The client should close both lips around the thermometer when taking an oral temperature reading."

    • This statement is correct. Closing the lips around the thermometer ensures an accurate reading by preventing air from affecting the measurement.

  3. "The ideal site to obtain a temperature reading depends on the individual client and the equipment available."

    • This statement is correct. The choice of site for measuring temperature can depend on various factors, including the client's condition and the type of thermometer available.

  4. "When monitoring the same client, an axillary temperature is usually higher by a degree than an oral temperature."

    • This statement is incorrect and indicates a need for additional education. Typically, an axillary (underarm) temperature is lower than an oral temperature by about 0.5 to 1 degree Fahrenheit. Therefore, this statement is the one that needs correction.

In summary, the incorrect statement is the one regarding axillary temperature being higher than oral temperature, which is not accurate.
