Temperature taking hints
The right ear reading may differ from the reading taken at the left
ø
ear. Therefore, always take the temperature in the same ear.
The ear must be free from obstructions or excess earwax build-
ø
up to take an accurate reading.
External factors may influence ear temperatures, including when
ø
an individual has :
– been lying on one ear or the other
– had their ears covered
– been exposed to very hot or very cold temperatures, or
– been recently swimming or bathing.
In these cases, remove the individual from the situation
and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature.
For persons wearing hearing aids or ear plugs, remove the
ø
device and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature.
Use the untreated ear if prescription ear drops or other ear
ø
medications have been placed in the ear canal.
