Questions: Question: 34 of 58 Time Elapsed: 00:31:49 FLAG A nurse is assisting in the planning of an in-service for a group of newly hired assistive personnel (AP) about body temperature. Which of the following information should the nurse recommend be included? Wait 5 min after a client has consumed a hot drink to obtain an oral temperature. Place a tape or patch thermometer over a client's scapula. A tympanic thermometer reflects a client's body surface temperature. A temporal probe thermometer uses infrared scanning to determine a client's temperature. PREVIOUS CONTINUE

The answer is the fourth one: A temporal probe thermometer uses infrared scanning to determine a client's temperature.

Explanation for each option:

1. Wait 5 min after a client has consumed a hot drink to obtain an oral temperature.
   This statement is incorrect. It is generally recommended to wait at least 15-30 minutes after a client has consumed a hot or cold drink before taking an oral temperature to ensure accuracy.

2. Place a tape or patch thermometer over a client's scapula.
   This statement is incorrect. Tape or patch thermometers are typically placed on the forehead or other areas where they can accurately measure temperature, not over the scapula.

3. A tympanic thermometer reflects a client's body surface temperature.
   This statement is incorrect. A tympanic thermometer measures the temperature of the tympanic membrane (eardrum), which reflects the body's core temperature, not the surface temperature.

4. A temporal probe thermometer uses infrared scanning to determine a client's temperature.
   This statement is correct. Temporal artery thermometers use infrared technology to scan the temporal artery on the forehead, providing a quick and non-invasive way to measure body temperature.

In summary, the correct information to include in the in-service is that a temporal probe thermometer uses infrared scanning to determine a client's temperature.
