Like all other vital signs, an ER thermometer estabilishes a baseline temp. It also helps to identify and measure the presence of fever, and thereby indicate the possibilty of an infection somewhere in the body. In hypothermia cases, the ER Thermometer measues body temp which will then guide the specific treatment measures used to re-warm the body.

What is the purpose of hanging a thermometer outside?
The purpose of hanging a thermometer outside is to determine outdoor temperature near one's home. Due to the erratic weather reports, people have chosen to determine their own temperature by hanging a thermometer outside.
What is the difference between a heat thermometer and a regular thermometer?
There is no difference between a heat thermometer and a regular thermometer. A thermometer measures the average kinetic energy of something, also known as heat. A thermometer's purpose is to measure heat, so a regular thermometer is the exact same thing as a regular thermometer, just with different names.
How is thermometer useful in future purpose?

What is the purpose of a mercury thermometer?
to see what is the temperature The Mercury expands or contracts depending on the temperature so its height against the scale on the thermometer tells you the temperature.
Temperature of a baby 79.3 is this normal?
If you have measured the baby correctly, then this is very, very dangerous. Get the baby to the ER, IMMEDIATELYOtherwise the thermometer must be broken, or you measured incorrectly. Consult the thermometer guide for info on how to properly measure.
What is the purpose of a dual scale thermometer?
Some people want to measure temperature in deg C while others prefer deg F. A dual scale thermometer will allow people to do what they prefer, but using only one thermometer.
How do you tell how hot or cold something is?
use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.
Why is the glass stem of a thermometer designed to act like a magnifying glass?
The glass stem of a thermometer is not designed to act like a magnifying glass. Its purpose is to contain the temperature-sensitive liquid or metal that expands or contracts with temperature changes to provide a reading on the thermometer scale. Magnifying glasses have a different purpose of magnifying objects placed beneath them.
