Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Question 2

When moving a patient with severe generalized hypothermia, which one of the following instructions is most appropriate?

A) I want everyone to take extra care in moving her very gently to the stretcher. We do not want her to go into cardiac arrest.
B) Be careful when moving her to the stretcher; the cold makes the patient very prone to bone fractures.
C) Let's place her on her side on the stretcher since her body temperature contraindicates placement of a nasal airway.
D) Let's secure her with her arms and legs extended since this position promotes the retention of heat in the body.
