Oral temperatures in fever can range from 37.5C to 39.4C (100F103 F) or greater. Normal temperatures by route are as follows: Oral: 35.5C37.5C (95.9F99.5F); Rectal: 36.6C38C (97.9F100.4F); Axillary: 34.7C37.3C (94.5F99.1F).

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Deficient fluid volume related to vomiting and diarrhea as evidenced by hypotension, dry mouth, dry skin, and delayed skin turgor is the most likely nursing diagnosis. Impaired urinary elimination is a nursing diagnosis only if there is a change in urine volume, which is not mentioned in this case. Acute gastroenteritis and infective diarrhea are not nursing diagnoses.
