Question

a health inspector looked at the thermometer on a walk - in cooler and saw that the reading was 46 degrees f. the health inspector asked an employee how long it had been at that temperature. the employee said, \the thermometer always says that. i dont think it works.\ what should the manager to do prevent that from happening in the future? validate the accuracy of that thermometer with another one have the employees report suspicious readings replace the thermometers every six months validate the accuracy of that thermometer and have the employees report suspicious readings

Explanation:

To prevent inaccurate thermometer readings in the future, validating the thermometer's accuracy (to ensure it's working correctly) and having employees report suspicious readings (to catch issues promptly) are both important. Just validating with another thermometer (first option) might not be enough if employees don't report in the future. Having employees report (second option) is good but doesn't address current thermometer accuracy. Replacing every six months (third option) is arbitrary and may not solve the problem if issues arise before then. The fourth option combines both necessary actions.

Answer:

Validate the accuracy of that thermometer and have the employees report suspicious readings.
