Question 1

What is convection?

Answer 1

Flow of heat from the body surface to
cooler environmental air. (Place the bassinet out of the
direct line of a fan or air conditioning vent, swaddle
the newborn in a blanket, and keep the head covered.
Any procedure done with the newborn uncovered
should be performed under a radiant heat source.
Keep ambient temperature of the nursery or client’s
room at 22 to 26° C (72 to 78° F)

Question 2

What is radiation?

Answer 2

Loss of heat from the body surface to a
cooler solid surface that is close to, but not in direct
contact.
(Keep the newborn and examining tables
away from windows and air conditioners)

Question 3

What is conduction?

Answer 3

Loss of body heat resulting from direct
contact with a cooler surface. (Preheat a radiant
warmer, warm a stethoscope and other instruments,
and pad a scale before weighing the newborn. The
newborn should be placed directly on the parent’s
chest and covered with a warm blanket)
