2. Use warm blankets.

Rationale:
For mild hypothermia, or a body temperature between 9095F, use warm blankets. For severe hypothermia, use a hyperthermia blanket. Warm soaks to extremities will not raise the client's body temperature and might cause chilling. Providing warm fluids is beneficial but not enough to raise the client's body temperature.
