Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is true. Axillary (underarm) temperatures are a suitable alternative for clients who cannot hold a thermometer in their mouths or for infants who cannot cooperate with oral temperature measurements. However, it's important to note that axillary temperatures tend to be slightly lower than oral temperatures and may not be as accurate.
