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.)

- Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius using the formula: C = (F - 32) x 5/9 - Substitute 100.6 for F and calculate C - C = (100.6 - 32) x 5/9 - C = 38.1111 - Round to the nearest tenth - C = 38.1 - Document 38.1°C in the medical record
