Heat loss involving the transfer of heat to an object without physical contact is known as:
A. convection. C. radiation.
B. conduction. D. evaporation.
Question 2
You are called to see a 6-year-old child because he has a very high fever. His mother tells you that he became ill about 4 hours ago and has been complaining of a severe sore throat. He will not eat or drink because he says it hurts to swallow. You find the child sitting upright in bed, crying and drooling noticeably. He appears very frightened. His axillary temperature is 104F. His respirations are 30 and shallow, and there is flaring of his nostrils on inhalation. His chest is clear to auscultation. All of the following are part of the management of this child, EXCEPT:
a. administering high-concentration, humidified oxygen.
b. deferring starting an IV because this may worsen the patient's distress.
c. carefully examining the throat to determine whether inflammation is present.
d. transporting the child in the sitting position.
There are multiple pathways for heat exchange between organisms and the environment.
Transfer RNAs (tRNA) carry amino acids to the ribosome to be synthesized into proteins.
