Hypothermia vs Hyperthermia Flashcards
1
Q
List the formula for Farenheit from Celcius.
A
°F = [(9/5) x °C) + 32]
2
Q
If my patient’s temp is 96.8°F, what is it in °C?
94°F?
A
36°C
34.5°C
3
Q
What is the formula for Celcius from Farenheit?
A
°C = [(5/9) x (°F - 32)]
4
Q
If my patients temp is 38°C, what is it in °F?
40°C?
A
100 °F
104 °F
5
Q
A nice pattern to help do quick temp conversions.
A
- If you start at 95°F - celcius is 35.
- As you increase in 0.9°F, each °C goes up by 0.5°
