Applications and Experiments for the Rectal Thermometer
A rectal thermometer measures body temperature by the rectal route, a route nursing curricula teach for patients who cannot hold an oral thermometer. With its pear shaped bulb and 35–42 °C scale, this model belongs with the hospital lab equipment of wards, paediatric units and nursing skills labs.
- B.Sc. Nursing and GNM practicals: demonstrating rectal temperature measurement on a manikin and recording it on a TPR chart.
- Paediatric units: a dedicated rectal thermometer kept with the cot or a Pediatric Bed (Baby Bed Drop Side Type).
- Ward routines: the thermometer stored in a labelled Polypropylene Thermometer Jar Without Cover, with a Kidney Basin Polypropylene for used swabs.
- Comparing rectal, oral and digital readings in fundamentals-of-nursing exercises.
Use the rectal route only as your nursing procedure directs and under trained supervision, and keep rectal thermometers clearly marked and separate from oral ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the range of the Rectal Thermometer?
It reads from 35 to 42 °C on the Celsius scale and from 95 to 108 °F on the Fahrenheit scale, so readings can be recorded in either unit on the same thermometer.
How does it differ from an oral thermometer?
This model has a pear shaped bulb, while the oral prismatic and flat oval thermometers in the range have a cylindrical bulb. This bulb shape is what tells the rectal model apart from the oral ones in the range.
