Answer:

Testing the water on the inside of your wrist.

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is no thermometer, the person that is taking care of a patient should test the water on the inside of the wrist, if it does not feel comfortable, the person should adjust the temperature. After the temperature of the water is adequate, the person should ask the client if the temperature is alright.
