    Assessing Body Temperature - Tympanic membrane01:14

    Assessing Body Temperature - Tympanic membrane

    Assessing tympanic membrane temperature involves using a tympanic membrane thermometer (TMT). Here is a step-by-step guide:
    Step 1: Begin by practicing good hand hygiene to prevent the transmission of microorganisms.
    Step 2: Turn on the thermometer and wait until the ready sign appears on the screen to ensure accurate measurement.
    Step 3: Slide the probe cover in place to prevent cross-contamination.
    Step 4: Instruct the patient to tilt their head to the side for comfort and check for cerumen...
    Poliomyelitis01:17

    Poliomyelitis

    Poliomyelitis is caused by poliovirus, a small, non-enveloped, positive-sense RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family and Enterovirus genus. Transmission occurs primarily via the fecal-oral route, often through ingestion of contaminated water or food. The virus initially replicates in the oropharynx and intestinal mucosa, particularly in lymphoid tissues such as the tonsils, Peyer’s patches, and regional lymph nodes. Primary viremia follows, allowing dissemination throughout the body.In most...
    Increased Body Temperature01:25

    Increased Body Temperature

    A body temperature above  38°C  (100.4 °F) is known as fever or pyrexia, and a person with fever is termed 'febrile.' Typically, the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that acts as the body's thermostat, regulates body temperature through a thermoregulatory setpoint. It receives signals from cold and warm thermal receptors throughout the body and adjusts the body's temperature accordingly. Fever occurs when this hypothalamic setpoint is altered, usually in response to an infection or illness.
    Assessing Body Temperature - Rectal01:27

    Assessing Body Temperature - Rectal

    Rectal temperature measurement is considered the most precise method for assessing core body temperature and typically registers higher than oral temperature. For adults, the rectal thermometer should be inserted 1 to 1.5 inches into the rectum to obtain the most accurate reading.
    Follow these steps for rectal temperature assessment:
    Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don clean gloves to prevent cross-infection.
    Step 2: Position the patient in a side-lying position to better visualize the rectal...
    Physical Assessment of the Respiratory Tract II: Palpation01:24

    Physical Assessment of the Respiratory Tract II: Palpation

    Physical assessment of the respiratory tract is critical in identifying potential health issues. One key component of this assessment is palpation, a technique healthcare providers use to assess the body for abnormalities. This content explores the method of palpation in evaluating the respiratory tract, focusing on thoracic palpation and tactile fremitus.
    Thoracic Palpation
    Thoracic palpation detects tenderness, masses, lesions, respiratory excursions, and vocal fremitus. The nurse assesses...
    Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla01:14

    Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla

    Procedural Guide for Assessing Axillary Body Temperature using a Digital Thermometer:
    Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and put on clean gloves to maintain infection control and prevent cross-contamination.
    Step 2: Prepare the patient by explaining the procedure to ensure understanding and cooperation. Ensure privacy, expose the axilla, and inform the patient that minimal movement is crucial for an accurate reading.
    Step 3: Adjust the patient’s clothing to expose only the axilla. It minimizes...
