单选题
A client is admitted with a suspected diagnosis of an acute myocardial infarction. When providing care for the client, the nurse should avoid which route when taking a temperature? A. Oral. B. Rectal. C. Axillary. D. Tympanic.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】When caring for the client with a cardiac disorder, the rectal route should be avoided. Introducing a thermometer into the rectum may stimulate the vagus nerve, causing vasodilation and bradycardia. The oral, axillary, and tympanic routes are appropriate for measuring the temperature of cardiac clients.
