Which would be an example of heat loss by conduction?
a. Allowing the mother to unwrap her newborn in the room
b. Delaying the removal of blood and amniotic fluid from on the newborn following delivery
c. Examining the newborn on a cold countertop
d. Leaving the ceiling fan on during the delivery
C
Examining the newborn on a cold countertop will cause heat loss through conduction from skin contact with a cold surface. Allowing the mother to unwrap her newborn in the room may produce heat loss by convection. Delaying the removal of blood and amniotic fluid from on the newborn following delivery produces heat loss through evaporation. Leaving the ceiling fan on during the delivery produces heat loss by convection.
