Why is lab thermometer can't be used as clinical and vice - varsa?

How do you take a rectal temperature an older child using a glass thermometer?
Rectal temperatures really aren't used that much in health care anymore because it's too invasive, and in infants inserting a rectal thermometer can damage the mucosa of the rectum. While it is the most accurate temperature, it's much better to use an oral thermometer, or one of the new temporal ones that simply go on the forehead. Also you said it was a glass thermometer, I'd be careful if it was very old because it could have mercury in it, in which case you need to dispose of it following your towns guidelines since it could break and cause a mercury spill which is never good.
