emotions, and mind states.
What are the 6 parts of the communication process? *** - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅1. Referent - event
or thought
2. Sender - person who initiates and encodes the message
3. Receiver - person who receives and decodes the message
4. Message - information communicated
5. Channel - method of communication
6. Feedback - response of the receiver
Types of communication *** - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅1. Therapeutic
2. Non -therapeutic
3. Open-ended
4. Closed communication
5. Verbal
6. Non-verbal
Communication Competence - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅Means that communication by the nurse is
effective and appropriate
Thermoregulation - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅the process of maintaining core body temperature at a
near constant value
Normothermia - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅Normal range body temp
,Hypothermia - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅Body temp below normal range
Hyperthermia - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅Body temp above normal range
Hyperpyrexia - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅Extremely high body temp
Physiological adjustments to body temperature are controlled by the - CORRECT ANSWER-
✔✔✅Hypothalamus
Average target body temperature - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅37 degrees Celsius or 98.6 degrees
Fahrenheit
Chemical thermogenesis leads to ______ and is a result of ______. - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅increased
metabolic rate, epinephrine release
Peripheral vasoconstriction - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅the process where the body shunts warm blood
away from superficial body tissues and skin surfaces and increases muscle activity to minimize heat loss
What are the four types of heat loss? - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅1. Radiation
2. Conduction
3. Convection
4. Evaporation
Evaporation - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅Loss of heat that occurs when a liquid is converted to a vapor. A
cooling process because a fluid is evaporating to a solid.
Radiation - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅Loss of heat from the body surface to a cooler solid surface not in
direct contact, but in relative proximity. Loss through electromagnetic waves. Emit from the skin surface.
, Convection - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅Flow of heat from body surface to cooler air. Wet skin increases
convection.
Conduction - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅Loss of heat from the body surface to cooler surfaces in direct
contact. Warm heat lost to the other. Transfer of heat loss.
Heat loss by convection can be accelerated by - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅wet skin and wet clothing
Peripheral vasodilation - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅process of a greater amount of blood being brought
to the surface of the skin
A patient with ____ will have elevated respiratory rates - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅hyperthermia
A patient with ____ will have decreased respiratory rates - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅hypothermia
Temperature is controlled by the - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅hypothalamus
Peripheral thermoreceptors are located in the - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅skin
Central thermoreceptors are located in the - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅spinal cord, abdominal organs,
and hypothalamus
Slower circulation, reduced function of thermoregulatory capacity of the skin, reduced heat production,
decreased shivering response, and reduced perception of environmental temperature effect which age
population? - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅Older adults
Fever is a pathophysiological reaction involving the immune system in response to ____ - CORRECT
ANSWER-✔✔✅pyrogens
Pyrogens - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅fever-producing agnets
