use a thermometer (ear, digital, rectall or pacifier) and put the digital underneath your tongue and wait till it beeps. the same with the rest but the ear thermometer in the ear and rectall thermometer in the rectall.

Why is lab thermometer can't be used as clinical and vice - varsa?
A clinical thermometer typically shows a maximum reading while a lab thermometer typically shows the temperature right now. When you take a thermometer out of a patients mouth (or other place that you are measuring the temperature) you most often want the maximum temperature to keep showing until you reset the instrument. When using a lab oratory thermometer you want the instrument to react as quickly as possible so that changes (up and down) can be noticed and recorded.
How does a thermometer keep your home at a constant temperature?
It doesn't A thermometer doesn't keep your home at a certain temp. a thermometer tells the temp. of a place.
Where should a thermometer be kept?
Out of the hands of children, in a place protected from mechanical shock and away from extremes of temperature that could exceed the range of the thermometer.
Can body temperature be measured by keeping the thermometer at some place other than the mouth?
Yes. Temperature can be taken under the armpit (auxilla region), on the forehead using a thermometer strip (normally used for infants) and rectally using a rectal thermometer.
Whether the body temperature can be measured by keeping the thermometer at some other place other then the mouth?
Depending on the type of thermometer you have, it can be taken orally, rectally, under the arm, in the ear.

Why care must be taken when disposing of a mercury-in-glass thermometer?
Well i'm not that old but i know a few:1)The thermometer will be of two types; a) Clinical Thermometer b) Laboratory Thermometer;a) The Clinical Thermometer: used to measure the temperature of the human body, at home, clinics and hospitals.b) The Laboratory Thermometer: used to measure the temperature in school and other laboratories for scientific research.Precautions:Wash the thermometer before and after use with an antiseptic solution, and handle it with care.See that the mercury levels are below the kink and don't hold the thermometer near its bulb.While noting down the reading in the thermometer, place the mercury level along the eye sight.Do not place the Clinical thermometer in a hot flame or in the hot sun.Note:The Clinical Thermometer should go above 108*F (42*C) and below 94*F (35*C) otherwise it might blow off the top and leak. Therefore, a Clinical Thermometer is used to measure the body temperature.
What instrument is used to measure temperature of a place?
thermometer
Why do you have to shake the clinical thermometer after reading but do not have to shake the laboratory thermometer?
So that the mercury will return to its original position (becos there's a constriction that actually keeps the mercury in place after u remove it from your mouth)
What changes takes place in the liquid inside a thermometer when the thermometer is placed into something hot?
The liquid in thermometers expands when temperature increases (and contracts when temperature decreases). When it expands, the only place for it to expand 'to' is up the thermometer (into the empty space above it).

What happens if you place a thermometer in any wavelength of visible spectrum?
Depending on the intensity of the light the thermometer should indicate an increase in temperature.
What is the correct place to put a thermometer?
You put the thermometer in what you want to get the temperature from. If you want to measure body temperature, the rectum would be the best way to get an accurate reading with an old school thermometer. There are however new thermometers which are as effective in an ear.
