1) State some precautionary measures while checking the fever using a clinical thermometer

• Precautions to be taken while using a clinical thermometer

• Thermometer should be washed before and after each use, preferably with an antiseptic solution

• do not wash the thermometer with hot water

• ensure that before use the mercury level is below 35°C

• Read the thermometer keeping the level of mercury along the line of sight.

• Handle the thermometer with care, as you handle any glass articles

• Don't hold the thermometer by the bulb while reading it.

2) Can we use laboratory thermometer instead of clinical thermometer? Give reasons.

• No!! we can't use leboratory thermometer. because Lab thermometers are designed to measure immediate temperature, so as soon as we take out the bulb of the laboratory thermometer from our mouth, the level of mercury in its tube will start falling quickly. this can give the wrong temperature of fever
