Document Summary
Nse 13a- assessment of healthy individual: week 6 objectives. Temperature, oxygen saturation: identify normal ranges for temperature. Cellular metabolism requires a mean stable core temperature of 37. 2 degrees celsius. The normal oral temperature in a resting patient ranges from 35. 8 degrees celsius to 37. 3 degrees celsius (mean, 37 degrees celsius) The rectal temperature measures 0. 4 to 0. 5 degrees celsius higher: identify factors that affect temperature and identify methods of taking a temperature and provide a rationale for each. A diurnal cycle of 1 c to 1. 5 c; the trough occurs in the early morning hours, and the peak occurs in the late afternoon to early evening. The menstruation cycle in women: progesterone secretion, occurring with ovulation at mid-cycle, causes a 0. 5 c to 1. 0 c rise in temperature that continues until menses. Exercise: moderate to strenuous exercise increases body temperature. In older adults, temperature is usually lower with a mean of 36. 2 c.
