Answer:

First let's add the missing piece of information for clarity and then the options before we write the answer

The response that the nursing student should make is based on understanding the mechanism of heat loss in the newborn. This nursing intervention is designed to protect the newborn against which heat loss mechanism?

The options:

1. Radiation

2. Convection

3. Conduction

4. Evaporation

The CORRECT ANSWER IS 3.

3. Conduction

Explanation:

Thermoregulation in humans is a major area of homeostasis. In thermoregulation, body heat is produced mainly in the vital organs, such as the liver, brain, and heart, and in skeletal muscles contracting activities.

There are basically four modes of heat loss: convection, conduction, radiation, and evaporation.

Heat loss by radiation and conduction occurs when the skin temperature is higher in comparison to the surroundings temperature.

Heat loss by evaporation occurs when the surroundings temperature is higher in comparison to the skin temperature as in sport activity.

Back to our case study:

1. Radiation❌

Radiation is seen when the body or skin lossses heat to a cooler body without any direct contact being made.

2. Convection❌

Convention is seen when the body or skin losses heat to cooler ambient air.

3. Conduction✔✔✔

Conduction is seen when the body or skin comes in direct contact with a cooler surface resulting in a loss of body heat.

4. Evaporation❌

Evaporation is a phenomenal that results in heat loss in the process of converting liquid to a gas.

The pop-up questions at the end of this level ask whether a banana is more closely related to a lemon or an onion. Why might the
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The reason why the final answer may be surprising to a lot of people is that

Onion is not a fruit, it is a vegetable while banana is a fruit; likewise, lemons and they are both yellow fruits.

Because they are both yellow fruits, one may have the thought that a lemon and a banana are more closely related.

It may also be confusing to lots of people because some plants that produce vegetables are more closely related to plants that produce fruits and it goes vise versa.

In sexual reproduction how do the offspring compare to the parents
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Well, if you want to get scientific about it, when two people have a kid, parts of what make them who they are go to that child, and the kid becomes a part of the parents. Basically, they have similar DNA. 
 A non scientific description of that would be they all have similar personalities because the mom and dad passed on some of them to the child. The child would be most alike to their parents by the subconscious actions they take, for example: how they take a shower. For kids who have step parents (me being one), if they grew up with that parent, they eventually adopt things the parent find interests in. Basically, the answer is in the subconscious actions they take and their personalities. <span />
