There are four types of heat loss mechanisms: radiation, convection, conduction and evaporation. Radiation is transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves through space Conduction is a process by which heat is transferred from the hot area of a solid object to the cool area. Convection is a process by which heat is transferred from one part of a
fluid (liquid or gas) to another by the bulk movement of the fluid
itself. Evaporation - when sweating promotes heat loss. <span>Covering an infant with a blanket to prevent heat loss will minimize the heat loss mechanism - radiation (</span><span>The heat generated from within the body is given-off to the surrounding atmosphere will be minimized).</span>
<span>A nonspecific (in the way it affects lots of aspects of mind and body) reaction to the demands around us. The higher the demand is perceived by the person the higher the stress.</span>
