Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The normal range for an oral temperature is 37.0C, a rectal temperature is 37.5C, an axillary temperature is 36.5C, and a tympanic temperature is 37.5C.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Convection is the dissemination of heat by motion between areas of unequal density, as occurs with a fan blowing over a warm body. Evaporation is the conversion of a liquid to a vapor. Radiation is the diffusion or dissemination of heat by electromagnetic waves. Conduction is the transfer of heat to another object during direct contact.
