What can I do my patient let me take his temperature?

Here are the steps you can follow to take a patient's temperature:

1. Prepare your equipment. You will need a thermometer and disinfectant wipes.

2. Wash your hands and the patient's hands. This will help to prevent the spread of infection.

3. Choose the right thermometer. There are different types of thermometers, so you need to choose the right one for the patient. For example, you may use an oral thermometer for an adult, but you would use a rectal thermometer for a child.

4. Insert the thermometer. Follow the instructions that come with the thermometer. Make sure to insert the thermometer gently.

5. Wait for the thermometer to beep. The thermometer will beep when it is done taking the temperature.

6. Remove the thermometer and read the temperature.

7. Disinfect the thermometer. Wipe the thermometer with a disinfectant wipe to clean it.

8. Wash your hands and the patient's hands again.

Here are some additional tips for taking a patient's temperature:

* Make sure the patient is in a comfortable position.

* If the patient is anxious or nervous, try to relax them before taking their temperature.

* If the patient has a fever, you may want to take their temperature more often.

* Keep track of the patient's temperature readings so you can see if there is a trend.

* If the patient's temperature is high, you may need to give them medication to reduce the fever.
