ANS: 2
A conscious client benefits from drinking hot liquids such as soup. Alcohol should be avoided.
Caffeinated fluids should be avoided. Extremities should be warmed gradually. Tissue damage could occur if placed under hot water. The entire body should be warmed, such as by putting heating pads next to the head and neck that lose heat the quickest.
