The boiling-point method: adjusting the thermometer to give the correct reading when taking the temperature of boiling water The ice-point method: adjusting the thermometer to give the correct reading when taking the temperature of freezing water Neither Both Wrong! Thats right! 2 / 10 What could cause a thermometer to lose its accuracy? When they are dropped or bumped When exposed to extreme temperatures Neither Both Wrong! Thats right! Thermometers should be calibrated after being exposed to extreme temperature changes or when they are dropped or bumped. 3 / 10 What part of a bimetallic-stemmed thermometer is used to adjust the thermometer and make it accurate? The dimple Calibration nut Neither Both Wrong! Thats right! 4 / 10 When using the ice-point method to calibrate a thermometer, what should the reading be adjusted to while measuring the temperature of the ice water? 32°F (regardless of your elevation) 212°F (depending on your elevation) Neither Both Wrong! Thats right! 5 / 10 What should you do when a thermometer loses its accuracy? It should be cleaned, rinsed, and sanitized Calibrate it to give the correct reading Neither Both Wrong! Thats right! 6 / 10 Some thermometers are NOT designed to be calibrated. What must be done with these thermometers when they lose their accuracy?
