Temperature taking hints

It is important to know each individual's normal temperature when they are well. This is the only way to
accurately diagnose a fever. Take multiple readings when healthy to determine normal temperature.
A child's normal temperature can be as high as 37.7 °C (99.9 °F) or as low as 36.1 °C (97.0 °F). Be sure to note this
unit reads 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) lower than a rectal digital measurement.
Patient must be inside for 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
Note: Patient and the thermometer should be in the same ambient temperature for at least 10 minutes.
Always hold the thermometer and the forehead steady when taking a reading. Do not move the
thermometer until you hear the i nal beep. Don't take a measurement while or immediately after nursing
a baby.
Patients should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking the measurement. Remove hats
and wait 10 minutes before taking a measurement.
Before taking a measurement, remove dirt or hair from the forehead area. Wait 10 minutes after cleaning
before taking measurement.
Always take the temperature exactly as directed. Temperature results may vary if positioned in the wrong
location.
For patients measuring their own temperature, it is recommended to use the "touch" option instead of
"no touch. "
