Fill in the Blanks Heat transfer in Nursing PracticesOnline version To help the student to know more about the real situation of heat transferring in nursing practices by Nermeen Elgenedy 1 Convection Conduction Evaporation Radiation In a hospital room , a patient ? s body temperature is high , so the nurse opens a window , adjusts the fan , or turns on the air conditioner to enhance airflow , allowing cooler air to replace the warm air , helping to regulate the patient ? s body temperature . Thus , in heat transfer that called When a nurse uses a heating pad on a patient ? s knee , body heat is transferred to the pad through direct contact . The pad warms the area , providing relief from pain or discomfort as heat moves from the pad into the patient's skin and muscles . Thus , in heat transfer that called When a nurse checks a patient ? s temperature using a forehead thermometer , the device detects heat radiating from the skin . The thermometer measures this heat to determine the patient's body temperature without needing direct contact . Thus , in heat transfer that called After a patient has a fever , the nurse may apply a cool , damp cloth to their forehead . As the moisture evaporates from the skin , it helps to cool the patient down , reducing their body temperature through the evaporation process . Thus , in heat transfer that called 2 Evaporation conduction Radiation Convectio A nurse applies a cold pack to a sprained ankle . The coldness from the pack transfers directly to the skin , helping to reduce swelling and pain . Thus , in heat transfer that called A nurse uses an infrared heat lamp to warm a newborn in an incubator , allowing heat to radiate directly to the baby without contact . Thus , in heat transfer that called . During a hot day , a nurse encourages a patient to drink fluids while applying cooling sprays , allowing sweat to evaporate and cool the body . Thus , in heat transfer that called . A nurse uses a portable fan to circulate air in an isolation room , helping to disperse heat and maintain a comfortable environment for the patient . Thus , in heat transfer that called
