| Popis: | Researchers examined hot and cold beverage consumption, tachypnea, and bradypnea effects on oral electronic thermometer readings. Results indicate that waiting at least 30 minutes after drinking yields a more accurate reading. Outcomes also suggest that bradypnea may create false temperature elevations. |
