Which of the following should a provider discuss with a patient as a part of advanced directives?

A. 99.6°F: This temperature is higher than expected for an axillary reading. Axillary temperatures are generally lower than oral temperatures.
B. 98.6°F: This reading matches the oral temperature. However, axillary temperatures are usually lower by approximately 1°F compared to oral temperatures.
C. 97.6°F: This is the correct answer because axillary temperatures tend to be about 1°F lower than oral temperatures.
D. 96.6°F: This reading is lower than typically expected for an axillary temperature and would indicate hypothermia, which is not expected if the oral temperature was normal.

A. Begin audiometer testing on the highest frequency and lower gradually: Audiometer testing should begin at lower frequencies and gradually increase to ensure a thorough evaluation of hearing.
B. Begin audiometer testing using both ears: Audiometer testing is usually done one ear at a time to accurately assess hearing in each ear.
C. Use the Ishihara test to measure the patient's field of vision: The Ishihara test is used for color vision testing, not for measuring the field of vision.
D. Document any squinting during the Snellen test: Squinting during the Snellen test can indicate vision problems and should be documented as it may affect the accuracy of the vision assessment.
