Data from four different research studies conducted at academic medical centers in each region of the United States demonstrated to a statistically significant level that axillary temperatures of infants were as reliable as rectal temperatures when both were measured on the same infant. Which statement describes an implication that the most recent report of the four studies would appropriately include? Standard Text: Select all that apply.

2. Additional studies should be conducted to replicate the findings.
3. Nurse educators should teach undergraduate nursing students that axillary temperatures are as reliable as rectal temperatures for measuring the temperature of an infant.
4. Additional studies should be conducted to determine whether the same finding applies to comatose adults.
5. Additional studies should be conducted to determine whether the same finding applies to animals.
