To determine if an individual is experiencing an elevated body temperature
and/or having a fever, it is critical to know the individual
’
s normal body
temperature when he/she is well. Take multiple readings to obtain the
normal body temperature range and note the specific body site measured,
for example: forehead or eardrum temperature.
