Do I add or take away when I use an oral digital thermometer? (nt)

I add 1 degree. :)

I take one degree away with a rectal temp and add one degree with an axillary temp (armpit). I always thought the oral was the number it was based on...

Do not add or subtract when taking an oral temp,

Yes, this is what I've been taught, too,
