Just for a review; my rectal temperature days ended close to the end of age 4 and I was always over my mom's lap. If any members had their temperature taken rectally passed the age of 4 like 5 and above, what was your most comfortable position during the process of having you temperature taken rectally?
If my rectal temperature days did not stop during the age of 4 and keep going like up to age 15, my comfortable position would be laying on my bed and on my tummy with pants and underwear to my knees and some space for my mom to sit and take my rectal temperature or even on the floor on a blanket.
If I was at the doctor and the nurse was going to take my rectal temperature, my comfortable position would be laying on the exam table.
I have never been an over night patient in a hospital but, my comfort position would be laying on the hospital bed with it flat and on my tummy for the nurse to do her job.
Again, what was your comfortable position for your rectal temperature to be taken if it did not stop at the age of 4?
