Tmp is 37.8 degree --- What is normal range?

Skin is warm---- what is normal skin temperature?

Complains of weakness ---- What are potential problems when someone is weak?

Think of these anwers will point you in the right direction for nursing diagnosis.

I was wondering what Xanthorrhea means? Does it mean a yellowish discharge?

Also, what does mycohemia mean? does it mean a condition of fungus in the bones? Thanks

When in doubt, look it up in taber's or stedman's medical dictionary.

Or failing that, google it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthorrhoea appaears to be a plant of some type.

Myco: fungus

hemia: in blood

Xanthorrhea - yellow discharge

Xanthorrhea - yellow discharge

I believe you on this, as it makes sense in context, but i can't find this term in any medical dictionary here or online. Additionally, a cursory pubmed search of the term only finds it in the context of the plant genus.

Must not be used all that often, from my estimation. In what situation would you use it over something like "purulent yellow drainage" instead?
