You are assigned to care for Mr. Warren, a 77-year-old
client in a long-term care facility. When you enter his
room to take his vital signs, you note that the fan is on
high speed and blowing directly over him. He is sweating, and the bed linens are damp. What type of reading would you expect to find when you take his
temperature? Why is the fan on? What type of heat
loss from the skin surface is being increased: radiation, conduction, convection, or evaporation?
