Nursing considerations when taking a temperature. Factors that affect body temp. A client can vary as much as 1.0*C from early morning to late afternoon. Exercise and stress can increase temp. temporily. Older adults are often lower than middle age adults. Environmental and internal temperature can influence temperature. Drinking hot or cold beverages before taking temperature. And location of taking the temperature depending on age or medical reason (such as mouth surgery).
I hope I answered this right. Any comments will be welcomed.
