blood |from |carotid |arteries
Tympanic |Temp: |Close |to |core |temperature |because |the |tympanic |membrane |has |same |blood |
supply |as |carotid
Temporal |Temp: |Forehead |temperature |is |accurate |could |be |affected |by |sweating |and |
moisture
Axillary |Temp: |1 |degree |less |than |oral |(less |accurate)
Rectal |Temp: |1 |degree |higher |than |oral |(more |accurate)
Arterial |Circulation |vs |Venous |Circulation
(leg |pain: |walking |vs |resting |differences) |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Arterial |Insufficiency |gets |
worse |with |elevation |and |better |with |dangling |the |limb |or |standing |up
Venous |Insufficiency |gets |better |with |elevation |and |walking
