Disposable gloves keep you from catching disease or contaminating a sample.
scientist use a thermometer to read temperature
I did not understand the nurse's inquiry as to what I had done with the thermometer. Will an inquiry be necessary to find that thermometer? A silent thermometer has no inquiry.
When I got sick, I had to take my temperature using a thermometer.
The fixed error on a non-digital thermometer is 0.5oC. The percentage error is worked out by dividing 50 by the reading you have taken from the thermometer.

most things are disposable
use thermometer in fever.
Disposable aprons are used by doctors and nurses and the like. They are disposable because after use, they might be contaminated and not safe to use anymore.
almost everything you use is disposable
You would likely have different ranges and accuracies for different thermometers. I'm using Fahrenheit. Many newer thermometers would be in Celsius, including those used in hospitals/clinics, or in other parts of the world outside of the USA. A clinical thermometer might read from about 80°F to 110°F, and would be accurate to 1/10 or 2/10 degrees. They can be digital, mercury, or even plastic disposable. They normally have a method to lock in the maximum temperature (like the old ones that you had to shake down). Modern clinical thermometers will either have a disposable plastic cover for the non-disposable variety, or will be 100% disposable. Ocular ear thermometers are a new type of infra-red thermometers. A household thermometer might read from -20°F to 120°F, and might only be accurate to 1 or 2 degrees. If the thermometer is a glass thermometer, the scale is never written on the actual thermometer. A scientific thermometer might have a range up to the boiling point of water... is often in Celsius (-10°C to 110°C), and accurate to a degree Celsius (2 degrees Fahrenheit) or so. A cooking thermometer might have a range of 100°F to 500°F. There may be some glass (or disposable) cooking thermometers, but many are also metal for durability.
What kind of thermometer you use to measure the body temperature
Depends on the thermometer. If it's a weather thermometer, then you use it outside. If it's a body temperature thermometer, then you use it in the mouth or behind.
A thermometer can use any of several methods to register temperature. These include mercury; liquid-in-glass; electronic with digital display; infrared or tympanic; and disposable dot matrix

Use a regular thermometer to test your body (or a child's body) for fever. Use a meat thermometer when cooking meat, and an outdoor thermometer to check the weather outside.
