No, a clinical thermometer does not need a magnet. You may be thinking of a Maximum/Minimum Thermometer which has a U-tube containing Mercury which expands and contracts as the temperature changes. Each arm of the U-tube contains mercury upon the upper surface of which are tiny floats made of steel (which floats on mercury) with tiny springs on their sides so that they grip the tube inside when the mercury does not move them any more. One of the floats records the highest temperature to which it was pushed, and the other indicates the coldest temperature to which it was pushed. So you are able to find out what the actual maximum and minimum temperatures were during the past 24 hours.
So why do we need a magnet? It's purpose is to attract the steel floats back to their positions just sitting on top of each mercury column.

Mention any two points of difference between a clinical thermometer and an ordinary mercury thermometer?
A clinical thermometer will offer more precise calibrated readings than a mercury thermometer. The range of measurable temperature differs between a clinical and a mercury thermometer with the mercury thermometer having the wider range.

Mercury is used in clinical thermometers.
What is the clinical thermometer response time?
three minutes
Can you use a laboratory thermometer for clinical purposes?
no please there's mercury which will just poison you
Clinical thermometer is which order system?
first order system
Why the clinical thermomer needs to be an accurate maximum thermometer?
A clinical thermometer needs to be an accurate maximum thermometer to ensure it registers and retains the highest temperature reached by the patient during an illness. This allows healthcare providers to monitor fever spikes accurately and make appropriate medical decisions based on the highest temperature recorded.
What is the most used thermometer?
Clinical Thermometer

What is the mercury called on a clinical thermometer?
The liquid in a clinical thermometer is called mercury. It is used to measure body temperature by expanding and rising within the thermometer.
What are the four different types of thermometer?
1. Clinical Thermometer 2. Laboratory Thermometer 3.
What is the temperature range of a clinical thermometer?
The average temperature in a clinical thermometer is from approximately 35 degrees to 42 degrees.
