Thermometer is better than finger for assesing temperature in liquid why?

Because your finger doesn't give you a number for temperature. And also, if the liquid is quite warm, it can burn your finger obviously. The thermometer on the other hand is made to deal with extreme temperatures, unlike your finger. It gives a precise, almost accurate reading of the temperature.

What to use to test hot water?
It depends on how hot I want it to be. If I want regular out-of-the-tap hot water, I stick my finger in it quickly and then shout and wave my hand about when it's actually hot. If I need boiling water to be a certain temperature, I measure the temperature with a candying thermometer.

Should the temperature of an unconcious person be taken orally since they aren't moving about?
Taking the temperature orally with a glass thermometer, when the patient is unconscious is risky, as the patient may suddenly wake up and bite and break the thermometer. Apart from the glass splinters, a mercury thermometer is a great hazard. The temperature could be more safely taken from the armpit, or anus, with less risk. Nowadays, most hospitals take temperatures using electronic devices that are placed into or near the external part of the ear, or are clipped to the finger and registered onto a computer like console.

Why fingers dipped in water feel cold even though your breath is at room temperature?
Your breath should be warmer than room temperature unless you are a zombie! I am guessing you are asking why does blowing on your wet finger feel colder even though your breath is warm? Moving air allows the water on a wet finger to evaporate faster. Evaporation of a liquid to a gas requires energy and the water is taking that energy from your finger. Less energy means a lower temperature and your finger gets cold.
