5 Factors Affecting Exposure - (1) Physical condition - Correct answer-Poor
__________ or illness will prevent tolerance temperature extremes.
5 Factors Affecting Exposure - (2) Age - Correct answer-People in extremes of
____ (too young or too old) will not be able to tolerate temperature changes well.
Infants cannot shiver.
5 Factors Affecting Exposure - (3) Nutrition & (4) Hydration - Correct answer-a
decrease in either will aggravate hot or cold stress.
5 Factors Affecting Exposure - (5) Environmental conditions - Correct answer-
weather will have a large impact on your patient's condition. Evaluate the scene for
clues to help with treatment in temperature extremes.
Habits that can affect regulation of temperature - Correct answer-(a) alcohol
(b) smoking

,(c) use of sedatives, tranquilizers, anti-depressants, cardiovascular drugs (major
factors for hypothermia in seniors)
(d) sedentary lifestyle (deskbound) spending too much time seated, little exercise
Hypothermia - Correct answer-A core temperature of <35C (<95F). May even
develop indoors during summer. In the U.S. an average of 700 people dies of that,
each year. Hall of those who die of that are >65 years of age.
Five ways body can loss heat - (1) Conduction - Correct answer-is the transfer of
heat by direct contact down a temperature gradient, such as from a warm body to
the cold environment.
Five ways body can loss heat - (2) Convection - Correct answer-is the transfer of
heat by the actual movement of heated material, such as the wind's disrupting the
layer of warm air surrounding the body.
Five ways body can loss heat - (3) Evaporation - Correct answer-Conversion of
any liquid to a gas, sweating and a natural cooling effect.
Five ways body can loss heat - (4) Radiation - Correct answer-Heat also may be
lost by _______ to the environment, primarily from non-insulated body areas.

, Five ways body can loss heat - (5) Respiration - Correct answer-Evaporation of the
water contained in exhaled, water-saturated air occurs over a wide range of
ambient temperatures and may be prevented by inhalation of warmed, humidified
air.
Heat loss or gain in the body can be modified in many ways - Correct answer-(a)
Increase or decrease in heat production.
(b) Shivering or increase in movement if cold
(c) Decrease and limit movement when hot
(d) Move to an area where heat loss can be decreased or increased
(e) Seek shelter from the wind in cold environments
(f) Covering the head can minimize heat loss by 70%
(g) Seek shade in a hot environment to cool a patient down
(h) Wear insulated clothing, which helps decrease heat loss in multiple ways
(i) Layers of clothing that trap air provide good insulation
(j) Also traps perspiration and prevents evaporation
(k) Loosen or remove clothing to cool down
