Solution

Clinical thermometer:

  1. The temperature range of the clinical thermometer is 94°F to 108°F.
  2. A clinical thermometer is a device that measures the temperature of the body.
  3. A mercury bulb is located at the end of a long, narrow glass tube.
  4. The average body temperature is 37° C, but it can range between 35 and 42° C.
  5. As a result, the temperature range of clinical thermometers is 35 to 42 degrees Celsius.
  6. Our body temperature is represented by the mercury level in degrees Celsius. Because mercury is a toxic element, these thermometers have been largely replaced in recent years by digital thermometers.
  7. Clinical thermometers must be sterilized before use to ensure a safe and clean examination.
