Rationale:
1. Placing the newborn away from air currents reduces heat loss by convection.
2. Pre-warming the examination table reduces heat loss by conduction.
3. Drying the newborn thoroughly immediately after birth or after a bath will prevent heat loss by evaporation.
4. Removing wet linens from the isolette that are not in direct contact with the newborn reduces heat loss by radiation.
