The nurse is caring for a client with body temperature instability. What hypothalamic reactions should the nurse consider occurring to help control the client's temperature instability? Select all that apply
1. Radiation
2. Convection
3. Conduction
4. Evaporation
5. Condensation
1, 2, 3, 4
Rationale 1: The hypothalamus interprets information from both the superficial and internal (core) sources and triggers vasomotor responses to maintain a normal temperature through processes of radiation.
Rationale 2: The hypothalamus interprets information from both the superficial and internal (core) sources and triggers vasomotor responses to maintain a normal temperature through processes of convection.
Rationale 3: The hypothalamus interprets information from both the superficial and internal (core) sources and triggers vasomotor responses to maintain a normal temperature through processes of conduction.
Rationale 4: The hypothalamus interprets information from both the superficial and internal (core) sources and triggers vasomotor responses to maintain a normal temperature through processes of evaporation.
Rationale 5: Condensation is not a mechanism to control body temperature.
Global Rationale: The hypothalamus interprets information from both the superficial and internal (core) sources and triggers vasomotor responses to maintain a normal temperature through processes of conduction, convection, evaporation, and radiation. Condensation is not a mechanism to control body temperature.
