A client with heat stroke has a measured temperature of 39°C. What temperature in Fahrenheit should be documented?

Explanation:
Converting Celsius to Fahrenheit uses the standard formula: F = (C × 9/5) + 32. Multiply 39 by 9/5 (which is 1.8) to get 70.2, then add 32 to get 102.2. So the documented temperature in Fahrenheit should be 102.2°F. The other options correspond to nearby Celsius values and do not match the measured 39°C.
