ANSWER:Mouth: Place the probe under the tongue and close the mouth. Breathe through the nose. Use the lips to hold the thermometer tightly in place. Leave the thermometer in the mouth for 3 minutes or until the device beeps.
Rectum: This method is for infants and small children. They cannot hold a thermometer safely in their mouth. Place petroleum jelly on the bulb of a rectal thermometer. Place the child face down on a flat surface or lap. Spread the buttocks and insert the bulb end about 1/2 to 1 inch (1 to 2.5 centimeters) into the anal canal. Be careful not to insert it too far. Struggling can push the thermometer in further. Remove after 3 minutes or when the device beeps.
Armpit: Place the thermometer in the armpit. Press the arm against the body. Wait for 5 minutes before reading.
Plastic strip thermometers change color to show the temperature. This method is the least accurate.
Place the strip on the forehead. Read it after 1 minute while the strip is in place.
Plastic strip thermometers for the mouth are also available.
