For hygiene purposes, after each used we will change a new thermometer sheath and use alcohol swab to disinfect the thermometer.

How was the data collection done?

Pilot test:

We’ve done a pilot test on our own.

We’ve pour three different temperature of lukewarm water in respectively containers.

Submerge the thermometers into the lukewarm water respectively, which showed at 33.8°C, 37.1°C and 38.1°C respectively.

We use same brand and model new thermometer to do the test.

Give clear instructions to the respondents.

We also ask if they have taken any cold/hot drink /food/ done exercise before taking their temperature.

Ensure they are not sick and fall at the category of 18 to 24 of age.

Venue: LTJ-2

Time: 3pm to 4pm

How did you gather the samples?

Our group used Simple Random Sample to gather all the data. Respondent of age is from 18 to 24.

We asked the respondents for permission using verbal consent, to ensure that they are voluntary in the research. We also ensure that the respondent fulfill our criteria before we gather the sample.

We gathered the respondents in the lecture room for 30minutes, after which we measure their body temperature by using thermometer. We measured the body site of their right axillary and right sublingual.

We ensure that all respondents are sitting at a comfortable chair with a relax mind

Educate the respondents to place at 45° at the right sublingual of the mouth and wait for the beeping sound. Do not talk, chew or move the mouth and wait patiently for the beeping sound, as it may affect the reading

Educate the respondents to place thermometer at the right axlliary and ‘close up’ using the arm against the body and patiently wait for the beeping sound. To not move the arm unnecessarily as it may affect the reading.

For hygiene purposes, after each used we will change a new thermometer sheath and use alcohol swab to disinfect the thermometer.

What did you use to measure?

Thermometer.

How often- once or average of three?

We measure once for all the respondents as they fulfill our criteria.

Any rejection?

None
