Nurse Tiffany Rectal Temperature Demonstration

Found this nice little nursing student video on Bing. A really pretty oriental girl named Tiffany demonstrates taking the rectal temperature on a male patient mannequin. Wish it were on a real recipient....I would've gladly volunteered. Tiffany even describes the probe insertion depth of 1/2" for infants and 1 1/2" for adults, which is how far my wife inserts taking my rectal temperature. She even demonstrates wiping the butt crack after the procedure.

Accurate and informative. Especially good for moms to learn this if a rectal temperature is ever needed on a child or adult. Our daughter in her 30s was very ill with a constant cough, tested positive for the COVID-19 virus and ran a high fever for the first 48 hours. It was a sudden and scary experience for me as a mother, even with many years caring for my family. I went to our local pharmacy and bought a new digital thermometer. This made it super easy to take Jen’s temp every couple of hours while she lay on her side, gently inserting the flexible tip in her bottom for just about 10 seconds. I used a probe cover just like in the video and a little Vaseline on the tip. No embarrassment, giving her privacy, just a concerned mother in touch with our doctor, doing what we felt were necessary. After two days, we were able to bring her fever down with Tylenol. Our pharmacist had acetaminophen suppositories available, but I didn’t have to use them.
