On a TPR (Temperature, Pulse, Respiration) graph, an orally taken temperature will typically show a reading that reflects the core body temperature, which is usually around 98.6°F (37°C) but can vary slightly. The graph will display this temperature measurement as a point plotted against time, allowing for a visual representation of temperature changes over a specific period. If there are fluctuations, such as fevers or hypothermia, these will be evident on the graph as deviations from the normal range.
If your temperature is taken orally, the temperature of your drink can change the reading on the thermometer. If your temperature is taken rectally or in the axilla, then it wouldn't matter how long it as been since you drank something.
