Answer
\(1) Calibrating a thermometer on a regular basis is a practice to ensure its proper functioning over, so this can be seen as an effective solution. Calibration ensures thermometer gives accurate readings.(2) Using new batteries every week, this may not be necessary as long as the thermometer is functioning well and the power is adequate. Battery replacement is usually needed when power gets too low impacting the function of thermometer.(3) keeping the thermometer turned off when not in use would save power and possibly extend the thermometer's lifespan, but would not necessarily mean it's working accurately.(4) cleaning the thermometer before and after use, which is particularly important, especially if used in a clinical environment to prevent cross-contamination.
