Using a tympanic thermometer is an appropriate method for obtaining a body temperature in an adult patient.
True
False
Using a tympanic (ear) thermometer is indeed an appropriate and commonly used method for obtaining body temperature in adults as it measures the infrared heat generated from the blood vessels in the eardrum area. This method provides a quick reading and is less invasive than other methods, making it suitable for adults. However, accuracy can be affected by the presence of ear wax or if it's not positioned correctly in the ear canal.
