Temperature Measurement Sites

3.8K
A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder.
Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Audiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Permanent childhood hearing loss impacts spoken language acquisition and learning.
  • School nurses are essential for early hearing screening and intervention.
  • Effective screening methods are critical for timely identification and referral.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare two evidence-based hearing screening methods: pure tone audiometry and otoacoustic emissions.
  • To evaluate the strengths, limitations, and suitability of each method for school settings.
  • To provide guidance for school nurses in selecting the most appropriate screening approach.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of pure tone audiometry and otoacoustic emissions.
  • Evaluation based on developmental, logistical, and equity considerations.
  • Review of current practices and emerging opportunities for school nurses.

Main Results:

  • Pure tone audiometry and otoacoustic emissions offer distinct advantages and disadvantages.
  • Method suitability varies based on specific school environments and student populations.
  • Considerations for developmental appropriateness, logistical feasibility, and equity are key.

Conclusions:

  • School nurses can optimize hearing loss detection by carefully selecting screening methods.
  • Tailoring the choice of pure tone audiometry or otoacoustic emissions to the setting improves identification rates.
  • Informed selection ensures timely referrals and supports children's educational and developmental trajectories.
