PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS WHEN
TAKING A TEMPERATURE
In order to ensure that precise and accurate
temperature measurements are obtained, it is
essential that each user has received adequate
information. Temperature should be take in
a neutral context. The patient must not have
undertaken vigorous physical activity prior taking
the temperature.
Be aware of physiological variations in
temperature which must be take into
consideration when evaluating the results:
•
temperature increases by 0,5°C between 6am and
3pm
•
women have a temperature that is higher, on
average, by around 0,2°C
•
women temperature also varies in accordance with
their ovarian cycle. It rises by 0,5 °C in the second
half of the cycle and at the early stages of pregnancy.

0,4°C than when standing
