Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Radiant heat loss occurs as warmth dissipates into the environment, often occurring rapidly and accounting for over 50 of infant heat loss. The nurse covers the baby's head with a cap. Warm blankets would warm the baby through conduction. A space heater provides convection. Breathing warmed oxygen is preventing heat loss through respiration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
This is a perfect score using this tool. The nurse should document the findings and continue to monitor per agency protocol. None of the other actions is required.
