Question

Which instrument is used to measure body temperature?

• A. Clinical thermometer
• B. Laboratory thermometer
• C. Barometer
• D. Speedometer

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Clinical thermometer

A clinical thermometer is used to measure body temperature. The range of clinical thermometer is from a minimum of ${35}^{\circ }Cor{94}^{\circ }F$ to a maximum of ${42}^{\circ }Cor{108}^{\circ }F$, which is the normal temperature range for the human body.
Laboratory thermometer cannot be used to measure the body temperature because its size is too large and also the absence of kink makes it difficult to take the temperature readings.
Barometer is used to measure pressure and speedometer measures speed of a vehicle.
