The nurse answers a client's questions regarding the integumentary system and helps the client learn about the mechanisms of heat loss, heat production, and heat conservation.

Based on this information, what is an example of the mechanism of heat transfer by conduction? A) The body gives off waves of heat from uncovered surfaces.
B) An oscillating fan blows currents of cool air across the surface of a warm body.
C) Body fluid in the form of perspiration and insensible loss is vaporized from the skin.
D) The body transfers heat to an ice pack, causing the ice to melt.

Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The body transfers heat to an ice pack, causing the ice to melt is an example of conduction. The body giving off waves of heat from uncovered surfaces is an example of radiation. An oscillating fan blowing currents of cool air across the surface of a warm body is an example of convection. Body fluid in the form of perspiration and insensible loss is vaporized from the skin, which is an example of evaporation.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Trial and error problem-solving is an experimental approach that tests ideas to decide which methods work and which do not. It can be dangerous in nursing because the possibility exists that the client might suffer; it is not an appropriate approach. Scientific problem-solving, allows researchers to discover the best possible safe and effective treatments for disease or dysfunction. A complicated mix of inquiry, knowledge, intuition, logic, experience, and common sense is called critical thinking.
