The Nurse Is Assessing a Patient's Skin During an Office

The nurse is assessing a patient's skin during an office visit.What is the best technique to use to best assess skin temperature?

A) Use the fingertips because they are more sensitive to small changes in skin temperature.
B) Use the dorsal surface of the hand because the skin is thinner there than on the palms.
C) Use the ulnar portion of the hand because of its increased blood supply that enhances sensitivity to temperature.
D) Use the palmar surface of the hand because its increased nerve supply makes it the most sensitive to skin temperature variations.
