Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heat and cold therapies should be limited to no more than 20 minutes. When the student states it took 30 minutes to obtain relief, the faculty member needed to provide more education. Inspecting the bag for tears and leaks, checking skin integrity, and protecting the client's skin are all appropriate.
