Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aquathermia pads are connected to a heating unit via hoses. In order for the pad to function properly, the hoses must be free of kinks and air bubbles. The temperature is typically set by the healthcare professional, not the resident. Pins are not typically used to secure the pad in place, and the heating unit is not set on the bed as it is a separate piece of equipment.
