Rehab should take place in a climate-controlled location if the outside temperature is 68ºF (20ºC) or lower.

Rehab should take place in a climate-controlled location if the outside temperature is 68ºF (20ºC) or lower.

• A. 56ºF (13ºC)
• B. 60ºF (15ºC)
• C. 68ºF (20ºC)
• D. 64ºF (18ºC)

Answer: (C)

Recognizing the temperature threshold that triggers climate-controlled rehab. The guideline states that rehab should occur in a climate-controlled location if the outside temperature is 68ºF (20ºC) or lower. Therefore, the value that defines this cutoff is 68ºF (20ºC); at that temperature (and any cooler), climate control is indicated to protect against cold stress and help recovery. The other temperatures are all below the threshold, but the question is identifying the cutoff itself, which is 68ºF (20ºC).
