→ Introduction @ NR0902_Subgroup02

We are a group of students from diploma in nursing. Now we are at the end of semester 2 of year 2 and left 1 year to go. We have 17 weeks of clinical attachment so far. We all know that it is the route to take patient’s vital signs including temperature 4 hourly. This is to obtain the baseline for the patient. So it is very important.

When we are in attachment, we notice that some patients open the mouth, some patient open the arm when we go for them to take temperature. Yes, it is the personal preference to choose where to take it. However, some patients use the axilla route for this time, but oral route for next time. Surely, the temperature will increase. When we, student nurses, inform the staff nurses, they will let us take the axilla one once again. This is a troublesome not for nurses, but also for patients.

Based on this, we choose this topic to see if there is a relationship between a person’s oral temperatures with the axilla one.

Our Variables:Dependent- Oral Temperature
Independent- Axiallary Temperature
Extraneous- Clothing, environment, temperature of room, time

How?
Here is a picture guideline that we agreed on to standardise on how we take our oral temeperature.

Possible Hypothesis

Null Hypothesis: There is no relationship between oral temperature with axilla temeprature.

Hypothesis: There is relationship between oral temperature with axilla temperature.
