Why Must the Temperature of the Examination Room Be Kept

question 3

Multiple Choice

Why must the temperature of the examination room be kept at a constant temperature and skin temperature monitored during nerve conduction studies?

• B) Decreased temperatures will result in slowing of nerve conduction velocity.
• C) Muscle response to stimulation will be altered if the temperature varies.
• D) Decreased temperatures will result in faster nerve conduction velocities.
