Question 5 :
The nurse is caring for a client with an oral temperature of 100.6° F. What temperature in Celsius should the nurse document in the medical record? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)
Correct Answer: ["38.1\u00b0 C"]
To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, use the formula C = (F - 32) x 5/9. Therefore, 100.6° F is equivalent to 38.1° C. The nurse should document 38.1° C in the medical record.
