7.2.3. FOREHEAD TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT

Make sure that the patient's forehead is clean before taking a reading to assure that it is accurate. If it is necessary to wipe the patient's forehead, please wait for 5-10 minutes after wiping it, before taking their temperature. - External factors may afect the patient's forehead temperature, particularly when an individual has been exposed to very hot or very cold temperatures or has recently been swimming or bathing. If necessary, wait 30 minutes before taking the patient's temperature. - A forehead and temple temperature differs from an internal temperature, which is taken orally or rectally. Vasoconstriction, an effect which constricts the blood vessels and cools the skin, can occur during the early stages of a fever. In this case, the temperature taken may be unusually low. If the reading does not match the patient's perception of his own body temperature, repeat the reading every 15 minutes. As a reference point, you can also measure the internal body temperature using a conventional oral or rectal thermometer. - The baby's skin reacts very quickly to the ambient temperature. Therefore, do not take a baby's temperature with the thermometer during or after breast-feeding, because their skin temperature may be lower than the internal body temperature.3. Hold the thermometer over the center of the forehead, at a distance approximately 3-5 cm midway between eyebrow and hairline.
