C. Organizational stage

, Lowdermilk Chapter 23 Exam Study Test.
difficulty

more rapid heat loss than does an adult's body surface
area.
3. Newborns have a relatively thin layer of subcuta-
neous fat that provides poor insulation.
4. Their normal flexed posture favors heat loss
through perspiration.
