Question :
1. Is a person’s oral temperature related to the axilla temperature?

Title :

1. Relevance between Axilla and Oral temperatures in children aged 2-6

Sample :

  • 33 children , aged 2-6 years
  • Quota Sampling

Variables :

  • Age
  • Gender
  • Oral Temperature
  • Axillary Temperature
  • Time of temperature taken

Variables are chosen this way because :

  1. Names of the children are kept confidential .
  2. It is important to know the age of the clients in order to see the fluctuation rate ( difference between oral and axillary temperatures ) between the different age groups.
  3. Males and females might have different ranges in oral and axillary temperatures , hence is important to know their gender
  4. The main purpose of doing this data collection is to see if there is any relevance between oral and axilla temperature

Safety Precautions :

  1. Hand Rub after interaction with each student
  2. Thermometer sheath for oral & axilla temperature taking
  3. Clean thermometer with alcohol swab after use on each student


Hypothesis :

Oral temperature will always be higher then axilla temperature
