A nurse is observing an assistive personnel (AP) obtain vital signs from an adult client. Sites reflecting core temperatures are more reliable indicators of body temperature because surface temperature varies depending on blood flow to the skin and the amount of heat lost to the external environment. Do not use if patient reports ear pain or has excessive earwax, drainage from the ear, or sores or injuries around ear. A peripheral pulse strength of +4 is described as bounding and is considered an unexpected finding. -Any signs or symptoms of blood-pressure alterations Axillary: For which of the following clients should the nurse to instruct the AP to obtain an electronic BP measurement?
