The nurse is caring for a client with an oral temperature of 36.5° C. What temperature in Fahrenheit should the nurse document in the medical record? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

To convert a temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, we can use the formula: F = C × 9/5​+32 Substituting the given value: F = 36.5 × 9/5 ​+ 32 ≈ 97.7 So, the nurse should document the temperature as 97.7 ° F in the medical record.
