Learners will explore conditions like fever, hypothermia, and hyperthermia, including their causes (e.g., infection, environment, brain injury) and clinical thresholds (e.g., rectal temperatures above 104°F or below 95°F). The guide also covers thermometer types (glass, electronic, tympanic), how to properly read a mercury thermometer, and best practices for hygiene and instrument handling. This resource is ideal for students enrolled in Health Care Assistant (HCA) programs, Pre-Nursing education, Medical Assisting, and Allied Health courses, as well as for instructors and healthcare trainers focused on vital sign monitoring and temperature assessment.
