“Natural” versus “Nature” Does natural still mean the same thing in America today? Caitlin Doughty, author of Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, struggles with the idea of what is truly natural in present American society, because the word natural had been tarnished. Doughty takes us through her experiences as a crematory operator at Westwind Cremation & Burial. A topic woven throughout the text is the idea of “natural” versus “nature.” Doughty argues that our culture’s false use of the term natural, a reliance on embalming, and our fear of death has changed our perception of what natural means.…

Gormley-Fleming (2006) states that oral route temperature is taken by mouth, placing either the digital or a disposable thermometer under the child's tongue in the sublingual heat pocket. This can only be used with older children as there are risks of younger children biting or breaking the thermometer with their mouth closed (Gormley-Fleming. 2006). This method cannot be used on a child that just had a hot or cold drink as this will affect the temperature measurement. For axillary route, the thermometer is placed in the patient's armpit and left in place for as long as is indicated by the device manufacturer (Gormley-Fleming, 2006). The disadvantage of this route according to Gormley-Fleming (2006) is that it takes a lot of time to measure which can be challenging for a child to be in the same position for a long time.…
