Interpretation:
The given patient body temperature
Concept Introduction:
Temperature: It is measured of the amount of heat energy in an object, is commonly reported in Fahrenheit
Fahrenheit scale: The Fahrenheit and Celsius scale is similar to converting between different unit of length or volume, but is a bit more complex because two correction need to be made one to adjacent for the difference in degree size and one to adjacent for the difference zero points. The degree size correction is made by using the relationship

- Normal room temperature is about 74 degree. What is the equivalent temperature on the Celsius scale?arrow_forwardFactors affecting temperaturearrow_forwardWhen people move to hot climates, their bodies increase sweat production to manage the heat-induced body stress. Increased sweat production is an acclimatization to change in temperature Question 5 a. True b. Falsearrow_forward
