Aug 10, 20188 yr Do you document the temp you got and say it's axillary or do you add a degree and record?I know axillary is inaccurate but I'm auditing charts where a nurse documents really low temps and says that is normal (95.4) for elderly pts.
Aug 13, 20188 yr Don't add a degree to the temp. Just take the temp and then put AX next to the number.
