Common mistakes when using a thermometer include not waiting for the thermometer to reach a stable temperature reading, placing the thermometer in the wrong location (e.g. not under the tongue for oral thermometers), and not properly cleaning and storing the thermometer between uses.
A common thermometer works by using a liquid like mercury or colored alcohol that expands when heated and contracts when cooled. This expansion and contraction is used to measure temperature changes and is visualized through a scale on the thermometer, which gives a reading based on the level of liquid inside.
Temperature
When using a Fahrenheit thermometer, temperature should be measured to the nearest degree.
Some common errors in the use of a thermometer include not allowing it to equilibrate to the surrounding temperature before use, placing the tip in the mouth incorrectly or too quickly, and not properly cleaning and storing the thermometer after each use. Additionally, using a thermometer that is expired or damaged can also lead to inaccurate readings.
When using the ice point method for calibrating a thermometer, you need to place the thermometer in a mixture of ice and water. Adjust the thermometer until it reads 0 degrees Celsius, the freezing point of water. This helps ensure that the thermometer is accurately measuring temperatures.
