    Calculation

    The nurse is caring for a client with an oral temperature of 38.5° C. What temperature in Fahrenheit should the nurse document? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

    °F

    Explanation & Rationale

    Calculation: Temperature (°C) = 38.5 °C. Formula: F = (C × 1.8) + 32 = (38.5 × 1.8) + 32 = 69.3 + 32 = 101.3°F.
