Ear Thermometer Advantages
Advantages of taking temperatures at the ear versus other sites:
• Axillary temperature readings only reflect skin temperature which
may not indicate the internal body temperature.
• Rectal temperatures often lag significantly behind internal body
temperature changes, especially at times of rapidly changing tem-
peratures.
• Oral temperatures are often influenced by eating, drinking, ther-
mometer placement, breathing through the mouth, or the inability
of the person to close their mouth completely.
