Nokea
A type of heat loss that occurs when the heat is dissipated by air current
- A. Convection
- B. Conduction
- C. Radiation
- D. Evaporation
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Convection dissipates heat via air movement e.g., a fan cooling a feverish patient. Conduction (direct contact), radiation (infrared), and evaporation (sweat) differ. Nurses use this principle e.g., adjusting room airflow to manage hyperthermia, aligning with thermoregulation basics in patient care.

A healthcare provider is planning care for a client who has a pressure ulcer. Which of the following interventions should the healthcare provider include?
- A. Massage the ulcer
- B. Apply a heating pad
- C. Reposition the client every 2 hours
- D. Use alcohol-based cleansers
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Repositioning the client every 2 hours is a crucial intervention in the management of pressure ulcers. This action helps redistribute pressure, reducing the risk of further skin breakdown and promoting wound healing. Massaging the ulcer can cause further damage to the skin and underlying tissues. Applying a heating pad can increase the risk of skin breakdown and should be avoided. Alcohol-based cleansers are too harsh for pressure ulcers and can irritate the skin, potentially delaying healing.
