The nurse is assessing a toddler when the child’s mother states that the child has had a fever for the past two days. When the nurse asks the mother what the temperature has been, the mother replies that she hasn’t actually taken it but the child’s skin has felt very warm. Which response by the nurse is appropriate in this situation?
1. “When our skin feels warm, it means our blood vessels are constricted.”
2. “The only reliable indicator of body temperature is by feeling the forehead.”
3. “Our skin temperature changes when our surroundings change temperature.”
4. “The temperature of the skin is not related to what is happening inside our bodies.”
