Tips for Measuring Human Temperature
Bear in mind that the thermometer needs to have been in the
room in which the measurement is taken for at least 30
minutes before use.
NOTE:
• Attempting to take temperature readings from sites on the
body other than the forehead may produce inaccurate
results.
• The patient should remain still while the reading is being
taken.
• Infrared forehead temperature readings are equivalent to
oral temperature readings. In all of these cases, please
consult your doctor.
• Readings taken while asleep should not be compared
directly to readings taken while awake, as body
temperature while asleep is typically lower.
• Do not take body temperature readings within 30 minutes
of being outdoors, exercising or bathing.
