Control

Like mentioned earlier in the temperature callibration post , control is very important because not having a control might affect the results collected . Hence , we have came out with controls to make our data collection more accurate .

Here is our control :

1. Callibrating thermometers .
2. Using the same brand of thermometers .
3. Ensuring that temperatures of the children are taken immediately after bedtime.
4. No food consumption before temperature taking .
5. Ensuring that the oral and axilla temperatures are taken at the same time .
6. Ensure that all children are wearing the same clothes , sweater not allowed. .
7. Ensure that children are not running about before temperature taking .
8. Ensure that children do not talk while thermometer is still running in oral temperature taking .
