QUESTION 1 ANSWER

When a first aider is using a digital thermometer, which action indicates improper / incorrect adherence to safety protocols?

• The first aider positions the thermometer in the armpit and removes it after hearing the first beep ✅
• The first aider checks the device’s battery status and confirms calibration before use
• The first aider applies a new disposable probe cover without washing hands first
• The first aider records the temperature reading before cleaning the device with alcohol wipes

Removing the thermometer after the first beep rather than waiting for the complete reading cycle compromises accuracy and violates safety protocols.

QUESTION 2 ANSWER

Which action is a poor demonstration of alignment between temperature-taking procedures and the company value of “Value for Money”?

• Purchasing the least expensive thermometer model available ✅
• Using the thermometer only when absolutely necessary to conserve battery life 
• Properly maintaining, cleaning and storing the thermometer to ensure longevity and accuracy
• Taking multiple temperature readings to average the results

Choosing equipment based solely on cost rather than reliability and accuracy contradicts providing value and compromises care quality.

QUESTION 3 ANSWER

During a simulation where a learner has a temperature of 38.3°C, which response fails to properly connect the SOP to the value of “Safety of Learners”?

• Waiting 30 minutes to see if the temperature rises before reporting it ✅
• Recording the temperature and time in the medical log
• Notifying the camp leader immediately via the approved communication channel
• Ensuring the learner is comfortable and monitoring them until further instructions.

Delaying reporting of an elevated temperature violates safety protocols and puts the learner at risk. High temperatures need to be reported immediately

QUESTION 4 ANSWER

Which pairing INCORRECTLY associates an element of the thermometer SOP with its corresponding company value?

• Using rectal temperature monitoring for greater accuracy → Care in character ✅
• Properly cleaning the thermometer after use →Protecting reputation of school/camp
• Taking temperature using only approved methods → Safety of learners
• Checking battery status before shift → Preparation to be safe

Rectal monitoring is explicitly prohibited in the SOP and violates multiple values including safety, care, and reputation protection.

QUESTION 5 ANSWER

When observing a first aider demonstrating thermometer use, which action shows proper integration of SOP requirements and the value of “Protecting Reputation”?

• Sharing temperature readings openly with other staff members ✅
• Ensuring privacy while taking a learner’s temperature
• Wearing gloves even when taking axillary temperature
• Documenting temperature readings and response actions accurately

Sharing medical information openly violates confidentiality protocols and damages institutional reputation
