Question

Garima feels that she is suffering from fever. Which of the following instruments can be used by Sushweta to find out whether or not she has a fever?

• A. Laboratory Thermometer
• B. Barometer
• C. Odometer
• D. Clinical Thermometer

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Clinical Thermometer

We know that a thermometer is used to measure temperature. But in the case of a laboratory thermometer due to the absence of the kink, the mercury level falls and hence it is difficult to take readings in this case. Therefore Sushweta can use a clinical thermometer.
