7. WHAT IS A “NORMAL” TEMPERATURE?
Although the generally accepted “normal” temperature
reading is 36.6˚C, temperature readings can vary from 35.2˚C
to 36.8˚C and still may be considered “normal”. Variations in
temperature can be attributed to activities such as exercise,
smoking, eating and drinking. Your temperature is lower in
the morning than in the afternoon.
Other variations may be due to the location of the tempera-
ture reading. While the axillary temperature follows the
guidelines previously described, an oral temperature is gen-
erally 0.5˚C higher. Rectal temperature will be 1.0˚C higher.
Infrared forehead temperature readings are equivalent to
oral temperature readings.
