The xylophone has been used for purposes other than music. In Senegal it was used to scare monkeys and birds and other pests from people's gardens. The type of wood used to create the bars of the xylophone can result in different sounds.
Answer:
Rectal Temperature
Use a thermometer with a stubby tip. This type of thermometer is less likely to tear the skin (tissue) inside the rectum (Picture 1).
Put a diaper or other cloth across your lap. Place your child over the padding on his or her stomach or back. Taking a rectal temperature can cause the child to have a bowel movement.
Put a small amount of petroleum jelly, such as Vaseline®, on the tip of the thermometer.
Slide the tip gently into the rectum (Picture 2). Never try to force the thermometer.
If your child is less than 3 months old, put it in the rectum only ½ inch. The silver tip on the end of the thermometer is about ½ inch.
If your child is more than 3 months old, put the thermometer about 1 inch into the rectum.
Hold the thermometer in place. You will hear a beep in about 30 seconds. For glass thermometers, hold in place for 3 minutes. Take the thermometer out and read the temperature.
Oral Temperature
Use a thermometer with a long, thin tip (Picture 1).
Be sure your child has not had anything hot or cold to eat or drink for 20 minutes before you take his temperature.
If your child is so ill that he cannot control shivering, do not take an oral temperature. Take the temperature a different way.
Place the tip of the thermometer in your child’s mouth, under the tongue and close to the middle (Picture 3). Tell your child to keep the lips firmly closed.
If your child cannot hold the thermometer in place with his tongue and fingers without biting it, hold it in place for him. You will hear a beep in about 30 seconds. For glass thermometers, hold in place for 3 minutes. Take the thermometer out and read the temperature.
