Ascientist conducted an experiment to determine the effect of environment on the color of fur of a himalayan rabbit. the himalayan rabbit typically has a white coat except for its colder nose, feet, tail, and ears, which are black. the black hair allows the rabbit to absorb more heat and keep these extremities warm. the scientist shaved an area of hair on the back of each rabbit, then placed an ice pack over the shaved area on only rabbit

If these are the missing choices: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin.b. determine body temperature by touching the patient's hands and feet.c. skin temperature will tell you very little about this patient's condition or well-being.d. the patient's skin temperature and color will likely be warm and red.my answer is: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin. using the back of the hand to check for temperature rather than the palm is more effective because the back of the hand has more nerves that can feel and transmit the temperature than the palm.
