How to use a thermometer correctly? What are the key points to pay attention to?

1.If the mercury thermometer is not for personal use, wipe it with an alcohol swab before measuring (a non-alcohol swab can be rinsed with cold water) and then allow to dry. Throw the mercury at a temperature of less than 35 degrees Celsius in the traditional mercury temperature meter.

The body temperature mercury table is clamped under the armpit, and the mercury should be in the middle of the armpit. Throw the mercury of the body temperature meter below 35, and then put the mercury end of the body temperature meter on the top of the armpit and clamp it to ensure that the body temperature meter is in close contact with **, and take it out in about five minutes. To measure the temperature in the mouth, first place the mercury thermometer below 35.

Put the body temperature meter under your tongue and press it a little harder.

2.Precautions for using a thermometerMeasuring axillary temperature with a mercury thermometer is more common and generally takes 5-10 minutes. Before use, throw the thermometer below 35 and place it on the top of your armpits.

The mercury end should be in close contact with the armpit**, and the armpit must be clamped to avoid falling off or falling off. When removing the thermometer, the thermometer should be wiped with toilet paper after reading the temperature data. If there is sweat under the armpits, it is more accurate to take the temperature after wiping it dry.

If the measurement time is not up, release the armpit, and you need to re-measure the time and recalculate. Do not drink hot drinks, exercise vigorously, or be emotional until your temperature is taken. You need to take your temperature after 30 minutes of bathing.

3.When measuring body temperature, care should be taken to avoid altering the activity of body temperature, the method of measurement, the timing of the measurement, and the repetition of the measurement. The human body temperature is generally in a relatively stable state, which adjusts with changes in activity and environment.

Avoid activities that change body temperature: Rest well half an hour before taking your body temperature, and avoid strenuous exercise, eating, etc. Measurement Method:

Try to choose a mercury thermometer before measuring, keep the mercury column below 35, and dry under the armpits. Be careful not to place items that are too cold or too hot around, and avoid getting too close to the air conditioner in summer. The measurement can be repeated to take the average of the body temperature to avoid errors.

When measuring body temperature, it is important to note that factors such as environment and time of day will affect the value of body temperature.

When using a mercury thermometer, pay attention to safety, be sure to pay attention to whether it is damaged, and then be sure to throw the temperature below 35. Be sure to pay attention to safety, never use too much force, do not drop the mercury thermometer on the ground, if the mercury thermometer is broken, do not touch it with your hands to avoid poisoning. If it's an electronic thermometer, be sure to fully charge it, and then you can measure it.

Shake off the thermometer first, and then clamp the thermometer under your armpit for 15 minutes. The main points that need to be paid attention to are to pay attention to the starting temperature of the thermometer, to pay attention to whether the thermometer is damaged, to pay attention to the scale of the thermometer, but also to pay attention to the time of use, and to pay attention to the way of use.

If the thermometer at home is a mercury thermometer, we must check whether the thermometer is broken when we use it, and then we must check the body temperature count, and we must throw the mercury column below 35. Usually pay attention to safety when using, be sure to handle it gently, never shake the thermometer when measuring, if the water thermometer is not suitable for breaking, do not touch it with your hands.

To determine the type of thermometer, if it is a mercury thermometer, you need to throw the scale of the thermometer to the lowest, and then measure, if it is an electronic thermometer, as long as you determine that there is no problem with the scale, you can measure it directly, you need to pay attention to the original scale of the thermometer, pay attention to whether there is a problem with the thermometer, you need to pay attention to safety, and you must pay attention to the disinfection treatment.

First, the mercury thermometer is treated with alcohol to eliminate reputational poisoning;

Hold the top of the mercury thermometer and gently shake it downwards to make the mercury that has risen into the tube return to the vacuole;

After observing the scale value at a certain distance below 37 degrees, put it in the armpit and clamp it, and also put it in the mouth, pay attention to hygiene;

After 5-10 minutes, take out the thermometer and look at the body temperature from the angular side.

Special Reminder.

Do not break the mercury thermometer, mercury is a toxic heavy metal, once broken mercury scattered should be cleaned up in time!

1. If you want to use the thermometer, you must first check whether the thermometer is damaged, shake the thermometer a few times, put the metal head under the armpit and clamp it, and then take out the thermometer after 10 minutes.

2. Pinch the tail end of the thermometer with your hand and take it out slowly, and the mercury column line you see is the temperature value, and you should wipe it with an alcohol cotton ball after use.

Usage. 1. Before using the thermometer, the head of the thermometer should be disinfected with alcohol.

3. Then the display shows the temperature of the last side measurement as shown in Figure B (if the last measurement is, the well lasts for about 2 seconds.) The display may then display a "Flash" symbol as shown in Figure C, indicating that the thermometer is on standby. (If the room temperature is higher than 32, the thermometer will display the room temperature without showing as shown in the D figure, while the " " symbol keeps flashing).

4. Use a thermometer to measure body temperature. The temperature value displayed during the body temperature measurement gradually increases, while the " " symbol is constantly flashing.

5. When the body temperature rise rate is less than 0,1 within 16 seconds, the " symbol stops flashing, and the thermometer beeps for about 5 seconds, at this time, the thermometer is measured, and the displayed body temperature value can be read.

6. The thermometer has an automatic shutdown function, which will automatically shut down within 10 minutes after the end of the measurement. However, in order to prolong the battery life, it is recommended that the user press the power button to turn off the power after the measurement is over.

There are many types of thermometers, the more common being glass thermometers (medical thermometers).

and electronic thermometers.

In general, a glass thermometer (medical thermometer) is placed only under the armpit to measure the temperature. Place the thermometer in the armpit, close the armpit tightly, take it out after 5 10 minutes, look horizontally, and turn the thermometer slightly when checking the degree, you can clearly see the mercury and read the degree.

Note: Before use, hold the upper part of the thermometer and shake it down forcefully, so that the mercury that has risen into the tube will return to the vacuole, so that the measured temperature is accurate).

The electronic thermometer can be placed under the armpit or in the mouth to measure the temperature. After the temperature measurement, the temperature is displayed on the electronic display.

Axillary temperature measurement: Before the electronic thermometer measures the temperature, the arm hangs down naturally, and the armpit is tightly closed for 1 minute to stabilize the armpit temperature; Place the thermometer's thermometer head into the armpit** and clamp it tightly for about 1 minute, and wait for the electronic thermometer display symbol to stop flashing, which means that the axillary temperature of the electronic thermometer has been measured.

Measure oral temperature: close the lips for about 1 minute before the electronic thermometer measurement, so that the temperature in the oral cavity is stable, place the thermometer temperature sensor head at the root of the inner side of the tongue, and after the tongue is closely connected, close the lips tightly for about 1 minute, and wait for the electronic thermometer display symbol to stop flashing, which means that the oral temperature of the electronic thermometer has been measured.

If the temperature is warm, you can hear the alarm sound of the electronic thermometer calling the code for a short time: bi-bi-bi-bi (ringing once per second), indicating that the electronic thermometer has completed the measurement and warning that there is a fever. If the temperature is , then the slower sound of the electronic thermometer is heard:

bi bi bi (ringing once per second) indicates that the electronic thermometer measurement is complete and the body temperature is normal. 】
