Surgical clients are particularly vulnerable to hypothermia (abnormally low body temperature). A number of special gowns and blankets are available to help maintain total body normothermia, using dry heat. Warmed IV fluids may also be given. Hypothermia blanket and refreezable ice packs are not appropriate to maintain normothermia.

Feedback:
The nurse should explain to the relative that flowers are not allowed in the room because the client is immunocompromised and could easily be infected. The nurse should not set the flowers on the client's table, allow the relative to give the flowers to the client, or accept the flowers and hand them to the client.
