No center point is needed, as these 135&#176; quick cut points are self&#45;centering and penetrate faster with less pressure. Will not walk or wander at the starting surface. Extremely heat&#45;resistant, these drill bits are most efficient in drills that operate at 1500 RPM or more. Cobalt high speed steel drill bits offer a 12X life rating, compared to standard 118&#176; point drill bits..
(2) Check the patientâs temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate every 15 minutes. (3) Maintain a level of privacy. c. Procedure. (1) Observe patient for elevated temperature. Review physicianâs orders. (2) Explain the procedure to patient. (3) Prepare the equipment: (a) Bath basin. (b) Tepid water (37ÂºC; 98.6ÂºF) (c) Washcloth (4). (d) Bath thermometer. (e) Bath blanket. (f) Patient thermometer. (4) Provide privacy; wash hands. (5) Cover patient with blanket, remove gown, and close windows and doors. (6) Test the water temperature. Place washcloths in water and then apply wet cloths to each axilla and groin. (7) Gently sponge an extremity for about 5 minutes. If the patient is in tub, gently sponge water over his upper torso, chest, and back. (8) Continue sponge bath to other extremities, back, and buttocks for 3 to 5 minutes each. Determine temperature every 15 minutes. (9) Change water; reapply freshly moistened washcloths to axilla and groin as necessary.
The three most common temperature scales are Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin. The illustration below shows identical liquid filled thermometers. Each is calibrated with one of the three temperature scales. The Fahrenheit and Celsius scales show the boiling point for water at 212oF and 100oC.The freezing point for water is 32oF and 0oC. The size of the degrees is different.he Celsius and Kelvin scales have the same size degree, but have different 'zero' or starting points. The freezing point for water is 0oC and 273.15 in the Kelvin scale. Conversions between the Kelvin and Celsius require the addition or subtraction of 273.15.
