Core-rectal temps "invasive"my butt!!! We all know that core(rectal temps) are the most accurate temp because it is closest to our actual body temp. I question the accuracy and validity of urine temps. In my book that method of temp taking has as much validity as the ear or infrared, or temporal forehead methods. The only valid temp taking methods in my book are the oral, rectal or Axhilliary(under arm)methods, period.

The nurse needed the temp of your urine to make sure that the specimen you give is yours at that exact moment and not someone elses or excreted before you took drugs. The strip probably goes with your file to the insurance company as evidence.
