Question 1 of 5
The patient has been diagnosed with a respiratory illness and reports shortness of breath. The nurse adjusts the temperature to facilitate the comfort of the patient. At which temperature range will the nurse set the thermostat?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B (65° to 75° F) because this temperature range is generally considered comfortable for most individuals, including those with respiratory illnesses experiencing shortness of breath. This range provides a balance between being not too cold to trigger discomfort or exacerbate respiratory symptoms and not too warm to cause overheating or breathing difficulties.
Choice A (60° to 64° F) is too cold and may worsen the patient's shortness of breath by causing them to shiver or feel uncomfortable.
Choice C (15° to 17°
C) is also too cold and may lead to discomfort and potential respiratory distress.
Choice D (25° to 28°
C) is too warm and can lead to overheating, exacerbating respiratory symptoms and making breathing more difficult.
