•
A dirty probe lens and cone can cause a low reading. If
not shiny, clean the lens and cone with an alcohol prep or
a swab moistened in alcohol.
•
It is preferable to hold the instru-
ment sideways. Approaching your
patient with the instrument straight
up and down could be somewhat
intimidating, especially to an agi-
tated patient.
•

ure the left side of your patient; a left hander would find
measuring the right side of the pa-
tient to be easier.
•
Consider holding the thermometer

•
If your patient is agitated, or
squirms away before you have completed your measure-
ment, just keep the button depressed and you can con-
tinue the measurement without having to wait.
