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.
• 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
