    THE IDEAL TEMPERATURE FOR MOIST HEAT IS 165- 170 DEGREES

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    Correct Answer
    A. TRUE
    Explanation
    The ideal temperature for moist heat is 165-170 degrees because this temperature range allows for effective cooking and tenderizing of food. Moist heat methods, such as boiling, steaming, or braising, rely on the transfer of heat through water or steam to cook food. At temperatures below 165 degrees, food may not cook thoroughly, leading to potential foodborne illnesses. On the other hand, temperatures above 170 degrees can cause food to become overcooked and lose its texture and flavor. Therefore, maintaining a temperature range of 165-170 degrees is crucial for achieving optimal results when using moist heat cooking methods.

    REFERRING  TO FLUIDOTHERAPY, HEAT TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS OCCUR BY

    • CONDUCTION

    • CONVECTION

    • BOTH CONDUCTION AND CONVECTION

    • THERE IS NO HEAT TRANSFER

    Correct Answer
    A. BOTH CONDUCTION AND CONVECTION
    Explanation
    Both conduction and convection are heat transfer mechanisms that can occur during fluidotherapy. Conduction refers to the transfer of heat through direct contact between particles or objects, while convection involves the movement of heat through the motion of a fluid, such as air or water. In fluidotherapy, heat can be transferred through conduction when the patient's body comes into contact with the warm fluid medium. Additionally, convection occurs as the fluid medium circulates and carries heat away from the patient's body, helping to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the treatment.
