    Calculation

    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.)

    °F

    Explanation & Rationale

    To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, we can use the following formula: °F = (°C x 1.8) + 32 In this case, the oral temperature is 36.5°C. We can calculate the temperature in Fahrenheit as follows: (36.5 x 1.8) + 32 = 97.7°F.
