Transcripción:

Taking a Temperature Body heat is measured by taking a temperature with a thermometer. An increase in temperature, called a fever, may be a sign of infection. The common scale used to measure body temperature in the United States is degrees Fahrenheit (F). Other countries use degrees Centigrade (C). Temperature is measured using a thermometer orally, by placing it in the mouth, or axillary, by placing it under the arm in the armpit. Take a baby s temperature under the arm unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Buy a digital thermometer at your local grocery or drug store. Ask for help to find them in the store. Taking a temperature using a digital thermometer Oral or Mouth Temperature Do not put anything hot or cold in the mouth for 15 minutes before taking a temperature. This can affect the reading. 1. Take the thermometer out of its holder. 2. Clean the thermometer with soap and water or rubbing alcohol. 3. Turn the thermometer on and cover with a disposable cover if available. Check that the screen is clear of any earlier readings. 1

La escala normal usada para medir la temperatura corporal en los Estados Unidos es la de Fahrenheit (F). En otros países se usan los grados centígrados o Celsius (C). La temperatura se mide con el termómetro colocándolo en la boca o en la axila. Tome la temperatura de un bebé en la axila, a menos que su médico le indique lo contrario.
