Question 21 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

A nurse is asked to administer a liquid medication to a patient. The medication must be at body temperature. The temperature of which of the following containers is the best choice to deliver the medication to the patient?

Answer
A
25ºC
B
37ºC
C
48ºC
D
98.6ºC

Explanation

Normal body temperature is about 37ºC, so the container at 37ºC is the best choice. 98.6 is also a familiar body-temperature value, but it is in degrees Fahrenheit, not degrees Celsius; 98.6ºC would be dangerously hot.
