Answer to Question 1

C
Vasodilation from heat exposure increases blood flow to the affected part. Do not pin the wrap to the pad because this may cause a leak in the device. Never position the patient so that patient is lying directly on the pad. This position prevents dissipation of heat and increases risk for burns. After 20 to 30 minutes (or time ordered by the physician), remove the pad and store. Continued exposure will result in burns.

Answer to Question 2

C
