Question 3 of 5
A client is warm and asks for a fan to put in the room. The nurse enters the room to assess the mother and infant and finds the infant unwrapped in his crib with the fan blowing on them on high. The nurse instructs the mother that the fan should not be directed at the newborn and the infant should be wrapped in a blanket. The mother asks why?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Directing a fan towards a newborn can cause heat loss by convection. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of air or water. In this case, the fan blowing cool air directly on the infant can cause heat loss from the baby's body. Newborns have limited ability to regulate their body temperature, so it's important to keep them comfortably warm by using appropriate clothing and blankets rather than exposing them to direct air flow from a fan.
