Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

A
A. An application should last only 20 to 30 minutes. Providing a timer for the client will help prevent injury to the tissue.
B. The temperature setting is fixed by inserting a plastic key into the temperature regulator. In many institutions, the central supply room sets the regulators to the recommended temperature.
C. The nurse does not place the pad directly on the client's skin. To prevent injury, it should be covered with a thin towel or pillowcase.
D. The recommended temperature is 105 F to 110 F. It should not be used at the highest temperature that is tolerated by the client.
