Question

Give reason of clinical thermometer that it should not be washed with hot water

Answer 1

Because you will break it. The clinical thermometer has been made to measure temperature around our physiological temperature or 95 to 105F (35 to 40C.

Using it in boiling water would break it, going way past the max temperature for this thermometer.

This used to be a simple drop of mercury in a glass envelope, the temperature was calibrated by the mercury expansion versus temperature.
