Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

C
Aquathermia pads and heating pads are common forms of dry heat therapy. Both are covered and applied directly to the skin's surface; for this reason, the nurse needs to take extra precautions to prevent burns. In most health care institutions, the central supply department sets the temperature regulators to the recommended temperature, approximately 40.5 C to 43 C (105 F to 109.4 F). Never position the patient so that the patient is lying directly on the pad. This position prevents dissipation of heat and increases risk for burns.
