TEMPERATURE TAKING HINTS
- The right ear temperature may differ
from the left ear. Therefore, always
take the temperature in the same
ear.
- The ear must be free from obstruc-
tion excess earwax build-up to take
an accurate reading.
- External factors may influence ear
temperatures, including when an
individual has:
■ Been laying on ear or other
■ Had their ears covered
■ Been exposed to very hot or very
cold temperatures, or
■ Been recently swimming or bathing
- In these cases, remove the individ-
ual from the situation and wait 30
minutes prior to tacking a temper-
ature.
■ Use the untreated ear if prescrip-
tion ear drops or other ear medi-
cation have been placed in the ear
canal.
■ Don't use the thermometer out-
doors.
9. Measure forehead temperature:
Install the temperature measuring
cap to switch to the forehead temper-
ature mode.
