A nurse is instructing a female client about how to check the basal temperature in order to determine if the client is ovulating. The nurse should instruct the client to check her temperature at which of the following times?

On the day 14 of her menstrual cycle

Every morning before arising

2 hours following intercourse

At noon after lunch

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

a. Not every woman ovulates on day 14 of her cycle, and the basal temperature only rises after ovulation, not before.
b. The basal temperature is the lowest body temperature during a 24-hour period.

It is usually measured first thing in the morning before any physical activity or eating. The basal temperature can indicate when a woman is ovulating, as it tends to rise slightly (about 0.5°F or 0.3°C) after ovulation and remain elevated until the next menstrual period. By tracking the basal temperature over several cycles, a woman can identify her most fertile days and plan accordingly.
c. Intercourse can affect the body temperature and give a false reading.

d. The basal temperature is influenced by factors such as food, drink, stress, and activity, so it should be measured before any of these occur.
