Question 20

Figure 1 shows a patient's core body temperature monitored over a 24-hour period.

Line graph showing core body temperature in °C plotted against time in hours over a 24-hour period. The temperature starts at 37.10 °C at 0 hours, dips to a minimum of 36.50 °C at 4 hours, rises gradually to a peak of 38.20 °C at 16 hours, and then decreases back to 37.10 °C at 24 hours.

Time (hours)	Core Body Temperature (°C)
0	37.10
2	36.80
4	36.50
6	36.70
8	37.00
10	37.40
12	37.80
14	38.10
16	38.20
18	38.00
20	37.60
22	37.30
24	37.10

State the patient's highest core body temperature.
