What is the normal temperature range for most residents?

  1. 96.0°F to 98.0°F

  2. 97.8°F to 99.1°F

  3. 98.6°F to 100.4°F

  4. 97.0°F to 98.5°F

The correct answer is: 97.8°F to 99.1°F

The normal temperature range for most residents typically falls between 97.8°F to 99.1°F. This range is based on the average normal body temperature, recognizing that individual readings may vary slightly due to factors such as time of day, recent activity, and age. Maintaining awareness of this range is vital for healthcare providers, including CNAs, as deviations from these values can indicate potential health issues that may require further assessment. Temperature assessments are crucial in monitoring a resident's health status and identifying signs of fever or hypothermia. Therefore, familiarity with the standard ranges assists nursing assistants in providing appropriate care and interventions when necessary.
